Unhappy TYPE R CRASH - PICTURES ATTACHED

One of my workmates unfortunately was involved in a nasty bump yesterday on the M74 in Glasgow. Fortunately, he is OK after a brief check up at the hospital.

In essence, he aquaplanned at 70mph, hit the Armco, spun back into the traffic, took out a Vauxhal Zafira, spun three times then ended up facing the correct way in the fast lane. He narowly missed an articulated lorry.

In fairness, I think the attached pictures demonstrate how good the safety is on his car.

He has just joined the TypeR.net (bit late now!!!) I have tried to persuade him to get a Scoob as well!!

im not suprised he aquaplaned at 70 mph, there were some really heavy rain showers yesterday, 70mph maybe too fast for the ones i saw on the m74 yesterday

4wd scooby might have helped his problem, might have! or slow down! lol

FFS don't do that!

There are enough bad drivers in Imprezas giving the make a bad name as it is, without bad CTR drivers joining the club too!
