I was driving to town from the farm on a Friday afternoon on a narrow road, about 15 minutes into my drive I took a right hand bend. Suddenly I was forced off the road by an oncoming truck in my lane in the blindness of the bend. My w204 hit the gravel and I lost control, hitting pedestrians, a telephone pole and trees. The car came to rest on its roof. The next thing I remember was being loaded off a helicopter at a hospital. With some amazing doctors and a fantastic car I was home the next day with only a broken finger and a few stitches.
I now drive a M class
That looks like southern California. SoCal is why I have a dash cam, to catch all the crazy stuff people do. People have tried to hit me and/or run me off the road more times than I could possibly count. The nicer the car the harder they try, and part of why I have the dash cam is to prove to friends all the things I say happen. Worse than that is all the people obstructing traffic, which boggles my mind.
Glad car did it's thing for you, but I/we wonder about the pedestrians. It doesn't look like a pedestrian kinda road, so like a one in a million bad luck?
What happened with the truck, did he just keep driving? Little Toyota truck, semi, somewhere in between?
