Pearoast
I hit black ice on a duel carriageway causing a spin that sent me onto the wrong side of the road.

Luckily it was 5am so there was not much traffic on the other side, the accident caused my front wheel to be damaged so I couldn't move the car, first thing I did was to phone the police to close the road to stop a big accident.

Next was to phone a recovery truck to get the car out the way, I was standing on the side of the road next to the car on the phone to the recovery people when the truck hit, 2ft in the other direction and it would have hit me.

The one thing about the accident that will live with me forever is the look on the face of the fireman that ran towards me, It was a mixture of pure shock and amazement mixed with confusion.
I could see that he was thinking, how the fuck is this guy still alive and standing next to the wreck of a car when just about 50 meters away there is a flipped truck on the road.

It took them 5 hours to reopen the road

The Aftermath.
