Mark even got a mention on the local traffic news, slip road closed due to recovery of an accident

 

fooking hell mate! glad you're ok.

 

Wishing you better. Glad that you are ok.
Sorry to hear about the car.
Frayz and Michaela

 

Mark we are so pleased you got away with just a few battle scars when it could have been so much worse. Cars can be replaced etc. Hope the aches settle down soon. That old Leggy sure looked after you mate.

Looking back it was a "It could have been any one of us" accident. Spally moved to the middle lane as the outside lane started to cover over with snow. I followed only moments later & felt the snow grabbing at my tyres. When we pulled onto the hard shoulder & into the little lay-by people were saying how their ABS was kicking in.

Whatever gritting was done hadn't worked on that stretch very well.

As you said afterwards it was lucky,for us not for you, that you went off where you did or you could have collected any cars that were coming up behind you.

Look forward to seeing what your next purchase will be.

Mark & Jess

 

Jesus Mark....... pics look shocking! I would have pooped my pants!

Glad you walked away unscathed mate

 

very true Mark, at the very start i had a twitch followed by a small heart attack and sarah nearly gave birth!!!

 

blimey, glad you are OK Mark

 

Well..... NickBes, what a hero you are!!!

Three cheers for Nick.....

Hip hip...... HOORAY!!
Hip hip...... HOORAY!!
Hip hip...... HOORAY!!

I think we should all be buying NickBes the Tea and Doughnuts at the next Posers!

I'm so glad you are ok tho Mark! I would be in pieces if that was me!!

 

Lin thought it WAS you & sarah.... just see a cloud of snow disappear down the bank and headed for the H/shoulder...

 

nearly was as i was trying to get from lane 3 to 2!!!!! Was very close to doing what you guys did, definately wont be going to any more shows if snow is forcast, at least whilst baby is on its way.

still got the picture of Mark going across the road in my head and still cannot believe he only got a few cuts & bruises.

 

I had the same on the A14 (nick see that) at which point lin said Can we go home now...

 

Yep that look a bit scary from right behind you, probably worse from where you were sitting

 

dont blame ya.....was bad enough in a four wheel drive car with reasonable power.....sod being in the noble, you done well getting to where you did..think i would have bailed a lot earlier.

 

Struggled to get back onto the motorway from the hard shoulder also. ended up sideways. surprised ya never heard that nick.

 

yeah we had a slippery time getting going again.

Looking at the pics again lucky there wasnt any trees etc on the first verge.

 

Thanks everybody for all of your offers of support.

Still feeling fine, just my neck and back are a little sore.

 

glad to see your ok mark

 

Yeah, I expect you will find the sore bits emerging over the next week or so. I am still feeling a bit bruised inside from the lorry hitting the passenger side of my car. Your incident looked worse than mine but as many have said, cars can be replaced & at least you walked away. Wish you all the best in your recovery

 

thanks to you guy's for taking care of my boy! just logged on to look at the pictures reminds me of the time he took the sump of his mums Fiesta, many many years ago.
Marks Dad

 

There you go mate i was still shaking taking this picture on my phone and were still
smiling trying to patch yourself up...

 

You guys who see this must still be shook up ...??

I know i'am

Laid in bed last night & beleive me i was shattered ( But still struggled sleeping )

Everytime i closed my eyes i just heard ...

MARKS LOST IT , MARKS LOST IT , DOWN THE EMBANKMENT , CALL AN AMBULANCE

 

Your right mate not a good experience , cornelius and i didnt know what to expect when we got down there mark was just crawling through the windscreen
the worst thing is we didnt know what was over the grass verge if it was a cliff or what lucky escape' someone was definatley looking out for him just well relieved to see him standing walking away from it

 

I Do hope that you have taken advice & spoken to our " Milamber "

 

I agree, I drove past the scene of the crime today at about 50mph and all I can say is boy were you lucky

 

He slept like a baby last night and has been asleep on the sofa since 9pm
he's alway's had a head like a coconut and a body to match seemingly
Took ages to get all that dirt stuck in his head out his hand look's a bit messy and there are a few bruises appearing on the abdomen and neck but apart from that he's fine.

Yvette

 

Glad to hear he is okay Yvette apart for a few aches and pains, nice to meet you yesterday, shame it was in those circumstances though. Hope your looking after him

 

Same with me, can't get the visions of Mark spinning in the road and disappearing down the embankment

 

OMG....Glad you are OK Mark, you was so lucky, have a speedy recovery, see you soon

KevB

 

OMG

 

now thats possibly either Nathan or Mr. Cue... Hmmmmm

- or i could be way off the mark ???
