Crashed a little. *Pics update*
First the Pics i think, which look worse in the metal as it were.
Well I was on my way home about 8pm heading north on a duel carriageway called the A9 approaching the Munlochy turn off which is a right turn.
I was in the fast lane about to overtake a civic when suddenly and with no indicating pulled in to my lane. Approx speeds were me doing 75-80 and the 3rd party doing 55-60.
Having only 2 seconds aprox to react I braked and swerved to the right to avoid but was to late and hit the offside corner of the civic sending me round and over the top of there car landing hard on the middle of the carriageway and rolling about 4-5 times then on to the wheels.
I was conscious throughout and managed to climb out of car. I was the only one to phone emergency services. The other 2 people were taken in to a warm car whilst I was left at the road side until fire fighters realised I was cold and in major shock. I was seen to paramedics within 20mins of the accident to which I was only given a blanket.
Upon arrival of the hosp I felt very painful back injurys and was bleeding from my face.
After many x-rays and an overnight stay I have a crushed vertebrae and swollen joins.
Not to bad for a night work.
Oh yeah and the 3rd party driver and passenger were fine and went straight home.
OWCH.
