shaun_odonnell Posted May 24, 2007 Posted May 24, 2007 Was involved in a head on collision with a Corsa Tuesday lunchtime. On the road from Glen Village (Hallglen) to The Three Kings (Shieldhill). Approaching the "S" bend and was struck head on by the Corsa. She was completely on my side of the road and we both had no time to avoid each other. The car is almost certainly written off as the roof has crumpled just past the B-pillars. Sadly I shall not be replacing it with another one, despite enjoying every second of ownership, except the ones that cost money that is. Both myself and the other driver escaped un-injured with only minor burns from the Air-bag going off and bruising from the seatbelts. Shaun..

shaun_odonnell Posted May 25, 2007 Author Posted May 25, 2007 This is a video on the run up to the spot where the accident happened. Please excuse dodgy workmate cam....
RA Dunk Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 she came bombing round the corner on the opposite side of the road while you were stopped?
micra_wrc Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 thats a blind corner, from both directions. I'm so pleased both you and the stupid woman werent going any faster - could have been a lot worse

scoobyiain Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 Bad news mate gutted for you. at least nobody was hurt. will take time to get over loosing your pride and joy
colzo Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 Bad news mate sorry to see that. Hope your back on the road soon.
Double Zero Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 Sorry to here about your accident shaun ,i saw your car at a central meet last year and it was stunning but on the other hand as long as you both walked away unhurt that's the main thing ,you can replace the car but it's gotta be a scooby nothing else will do man,hope you are back on the road soon[Y] Stevie _________________________ 01 WRX
superstar_tradesman Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 Sorry to hear that mate, the car was mint pre accident. You passed me on the Bellsdyke road last week an were the first other scoob driver to give me the wave.
seafar99 Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 Can only offer my commiserations Shaun, that is indeed a sad,sad sight.I can only guess how gutted you'll be feeling at this moment. I'm also a bit surprised at how much damage your P1 has taken. Mind you hitting a corsa driven by a female hippo must have been like hitting a brick wall !. You live to tell the tale and at the end of the day, that's all that really matters. craig.
paulc555 Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 Shaun So sorry to see that mate.....just glad your okay and managed to walk away from a real nasty one...you will be missed on the scene mate ....lets just hope when things get sorted and you get a chance to reflect on all the good things that you gained from scoob ownership..you might just venture back in one... take care mate....keep in touch eh.... Paul
james666 Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 Shaun its a sad day when a corsa kills a scooby never mind a mint P1 but main thing is you both got out un hurt!!! oh how did that hippo get in to a corsa anyway she would need a xxxxl seat belt and wide load stickers on her ass and car!!!, hope you get all stuff sorted out with insurance and buy another scoob!!
cullenmin Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 Gutted for ya mate, looks like a minter has been ruined by a stupid cow on 4 wheels. Glad you held in the frustration of laying the smack down on her fat a s s![:@]
AlanG Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 Well, accidents are never a nice thing to see or have but providing everyone is fine and uninjured, then let insurance deal with the lumps of metal. As for the "hippo" and other unnecessary derogatory comments, it looks to me like that female is pregnant rather than having eaten to excess, so irrespective of who is to blame, all concerned have had a shock and will have learned from it. The unborn child is what i'd be worrying about after an accident like that. It must be nice to know that you feel you are all perfect
scientific steve Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 OMG [:|] gutted for you bud, thats just shocking
shaun_odonnell Posted May 25, 2007 Author Posted May 25, 2007 Thanks very much for the kind words, some even brought a chuckle to my bruised torso. ha ha She was not pregnant, otherwise it would've been an ambulance job for her, but she just trundled home with her pal. As much as I'm upset that the car's totalled, I'm ok, she was ok and as many say cars can be replaced, lives can't. Although I'll say this - Airbags are nasty. I never made contact with it, but the burns on my arms are killing me and just after the accident, the inside of that car with the 2 deployed airbags was a horrible place to be. The heat generated from them is undescribeable and the smell, well, you can't breathe. I really don't want to be in that situation again. Thanks again guys, I'll keep you posted on how things go with the insurance company. Shaun.
