HEADPHONES Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Seeing threads like this shows how much damage can be done in RTAs. Glad to hear you are all ok. Was only a couple years back we lost a member to a road accident 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawker1986 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Really sorry to see this, and heading to your wedding venue to boot! I know when my Mrs had her previous Zed written off last year she was in bits about it for ages. The important thing is that you are both ok! The Zed is a strong car and has looked after you well. Good luck with the hunt for a new Zed Ed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newkid Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 But.....suppose it won't hurt to say what happened. I was driving down some single car country lanes focusing on any oncoming traffic. I didn't know the area and was following the Sat nav then before I knew it we were in the middle of a crossroads and the poor gent in a Mercedes Vito t-boned us on the passenger side at roughly 50mph. There were no road markings and after a quick inspection the only give way sign was on the crossroads and covered by trees. Unfortunately due to hedges and trees on either side I simply didn't see the side roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newkid Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 So in the meantime if anybody wants to sell me their zed. I'm open to offers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioneabee Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I trust you obtained lots of photos of the signs and lack of as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newkid Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 I did indeed. Not holding my breath though. A nice couple in a house nearby gave us tea etc and said it happens pretty much every weekend on that junction. Sometimes people fly by it without knowing they have even gone over a crossroads...others are not so lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newkid Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) I must say though....these cars are absolutely astounding safety wise. My partner was literally cocooned in airbags and to be hit at that speed by a van square on an coming off with a few bumps and bruises is simply astonishing. The interior is completely bent and the door is squashed against her seat, the dash has buckled and so has the rear speaker part but it looked after my fiance very very well.

chrisday1990 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Very sorry to see this, The fact your lady was in the car realy brings home how well the Z has fared up again that bruit of a van.... car can be replaced and used a reminder to all how quick things can change. The damage to the car looks quite traumatic yet the structure of the car looks solid. Keep us posted on developments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
