Sorry to hear that,Dave. I'm sure we all wish everyone involved a speedy and full recovery. Hope their injuries are not too serious. Send our best if you do manage to make contact again. It might be small consolation but my brother's wife took ill on holiday in Spain and spent ime in hospital there, says the treatment in the hospital was first class and staff couldn't do enough for her. They all spoke perfect English ,too.

Capt Limey is north of the border up the other side of Toulouse, probably too far away though, depending on where Bat is?

Hope they make a speedy full recovery.

As already said the truck can be replaced.

 

[dinky]

Hi Guys

Capt Limey here. I'm about four hours from the Spanish border and happy to offer whatever assistance I can. (Don't speak the lingo but good at sign language!) Anyone know where Bat and family are in Spain?

I recall there was an introduction from the Spanish Nissan 4X4 club some time last year, perhaps another source of local assistance???

Keep up the info flow.

Regards CL.

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:thumb2Glad they were in the troll & not on the bike

 

[Paul]

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

 

[Bat21]

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. :clap:clap:clap
