Had an accident tonight on the way back from the gf house 
coming down the M6 and slammed into a van in the fast lane as i couldnt stop in time, hit the van, both airbags went off, and the car carreered across all 3 lanes and came to a stop down the embankment.
From what i can see, both airbags went off, bumper is finished, fmic is finished, lights gone, bonnet gone windscreen gone. Will have to find out tomorrow where its gone to so i can go and see and get some pictures for you, and to also see the damage in daylight.
Basically what happened, was going down the M6 in the fast lane, traffic was quite quiet, looked down at my dash for maybe 3 seconds tops, looked back up and there was a van in my path, slammed the brakes on, realised at that point that i wasnt going to stop in time, and ended up hitting the back of the van, and from that point on i was just a passanger.
Was very lucky that i didnt hit any other vehicles, and that the car didnt roll when i went down the embankment.Whn the car stopped, the cabin was full of smoke, and it fooking stunk big time. My first action was right i need to get out, nose was killing, and that was about it, bit shuck up and shaken etc.
Luckily the van i hit wasnt too badly damaged from what i could see, bumper, and maybe the rear doors possibly,both the van occupants where ok. Got there details off the police, and they then carried on there journey down to London.
Am feeling absolutly gutted at the mo as you can understand.My car was my pride and joy assome of you all know. I really do hope that they repair my baby, but some how i think i have driven her for the last time unfortunately.
Not really much more to say, cant sleep as i feel sick, got a bloody sore nose, and am just gutted. Feel like such a twat aswell as it was my fault. I shouldnt have taken my eyes off the road, and i accept that. But the main thing is like everyone has told me so far is that both i and the others involved are ok, and that it could have been alot worse.
Moral of the story is that you live and learn by your mistakes, Not much more to say tbh.
Will get pics tomorrow once i know where the car is, and after i have called my insurance company.
