Hi Peeps
new to this forum which is what I need to easy the pain I am feeling at the moment.
Vehicle : 1998 c 230 komp /Manual/ Obsidian black
Last month while attempting to help out a friend, by going to pick them up for work as their car had broken down (BMW 325i) opportunity to convert,
I was travelling along the A 45 between Meridan and Birmingham at about 5.00
am. As they have been carrying out some road works for sometime (bridge construction and resurfacing) they had removed what poor lighting that existed and replaced it with temporary lighting which was non exsitant at that time of the morning. I am driving at about 45 - 50 mph when suddenly I notice large a u shaped (Best description for it at the time) obstruction in the middle of the outside lane,as my lights picked it up in the distance, as I manouvered the car to go around it, managed to get around ok but then lost control of the back end which fishtailed out hitting the kerb and catapulted the car in to the crash barrier on the opposite side taking out all off the front end, and in the process took out the front passenger wheel and rear bumper and lights, the suprising thing is the air bag did not go off.
Very luckily managed to walk away without a scratch. Just deeply hurt, still suffering with sleepless nites, mood swings, needed to share my grief.
Coming back to the obstruction some Muppet had left a front bumper lying across the the outside lane,I just happend to be the casualty, no number plate attached , just my luck !!!
