| what a 5h1t hole | Today has been an eventful day, It started off as many do with a boring drive to work, But then whizzing past me came a DARK BLUE VOLVO S70 with an ORANGE sticker in the rear window. He sped past myself and then the car infront but as doing so cut the car infront of me up causing the Driver to swerve and loose control which resulted in her leaving the road. It wasnt a great piece of road to leave either as the grass verge is overgrown and has an incline which drops about 20ft to which point her car was stopped by some trees. As soon as I saw the driver infront loose control I started to slide as it was wet, I came to rest and being first on the scene and at 6:20am not many cars come that way I slid down the side of the road without thinking and came to the car.. The engine was still running and the doors were locked the car was trapped on one side by a tree but then looking through the rear side window i could see a baby in the back too.. the driver looked to be out cold so I smashed the rear window to gain access into the rear of the car and removed the baby complete with her car seat, I made sure she was ok and still with it so to speak then i returned to the car and made that safe before seeing to the driver.. Its suprising how much you remember in emergency situations as i had to give her CPR.. she came to after a few goes and by that time the police had arrived.. The little baby Girl has now had a clean bill of health at the hospital and is with her father who are now both with the mother/wife as she has come to after surgery and is now on the way to recover.. I'm off to see the boys in blue again later after work to give a full statement THIS IS A PLEA FOR HELP.. If anyone hears a friend or friend of a friend bragging about a similar incident get in contact as the driver didnt stop who caused this to happen it happen at 6.10-6.20am this morning on "RADWAY GREEN ROAD" which is just off the A500 @ JUNCTION 16 of the M6. EMPTY SPACE NEEDS FILLING.... but it has to be something that wont get me banned ![]() ![]() |

| Whats this Datsun? | Dude, you should work for the RAC as a 'Knight of the Road'...you should be commended for your lifesaving success mate...good on yer Jon Everyone POST THIS TO OTHER FORUMS as many peeps as poss in the Crewe area should keep there eye's peeled for the perp and shop them to the authorities if seen. Leaving the scene of an accident is scuminess in the highest degree and sadly is never dealt with by our justice system as it should be. ![]() Mini Mania 08 13th July 08 - Durham - Its mahoosive! ![]() North East Mini Club - More Mini Fun in the North East!!![]() |
