Shocking news, that’s the last thing anyone needs, here’s hoping all goes ok and they have a speedy return & recovery.

Sorry to hear the news & hope they have a speedy recovery

Glad they were in the troll & not on the bike

Anyone had any news from them?? would have thought they wouldbe back by now.

Bat21 · 04-05-2009, 20:18

Thanks for the kind offers of help guys, we got back yesterday afternoon, my poor Patrol will not be coming home though. A Moroccan driving a French breakdown truck decided to ram us off the motorway in Torrablanca, we were doing 58mph (GPS evidence) and he was doing approximately 90 - 100 on impact

Lucy and I are still extremely traumatized from the whole thing and will be off to the docs in the morning.

Before the off

17th April having a great time

26th April Lucy took these photos as the fire crew were trying to free me.

These were taken the following day.

Jesus Christ Bat....you and your wife are the luckiest people alive today I'd say.....that had all the makings of a real tragedy.

had to be a tailgating frenchman didn't it, how typical is that....they never learn....

Anyway, thank goodness you are both still standing mate.

Paul I'm just glad you're both alive.

Take whatever help you need mate to get over the trauma, it may take a while.

ATb, Nathan.

Lee3197 · 04-05-2009, 20:44

Absolutely shocked by the news and pictures. Good that you are both alive and reasonably well. Material things can get replaced, the important thing is that you're both here and home.

If I can do any small thing, let me know.

Regards to you and Family, Go Steady, Lee, Sue and nippers.

Lucky escape mate, I'm glad your all home and in one piece. Shame about the truck and your belongings but that can be replaced.
