Car accident.

[DHTiling]

My son has just been in a car accident.

He just pulled out of work and was driving up the road and a Taxi pulled out from the right hand side (parked up) and my son braked skidded a bit and stopped without hitting it.

Another bloody car behind him was too close , he braked swerved to miss my sons car and then ploughed into a parked car then 360 spin into my sons car ffs.

The parked car had to have the roof cut off to free the driver as his legs were trapped. And my sons car was banged up but hopefully fixable and the lads corsa is a write off.

Bloody lucky lads, could have been worse if my son hadn't acted quickly. And to top it off the taxi driver left the scene and came back ten mins later. Not his fault he said.

Anyway not long in, insurance phoned and wife has took him to hospital as after the adrenalin has worn off his back and side is hurting and his neck aches.

Glad he's ok Dave, there are some really bad drivers out there that don't have the ability to see past the end of their bonnets.

Hope your lads OK Dave, bloody scary for you and yours.:yikes:

 

[DHTiling]

He's ok.. just shook up... got covered in glass from his window smashing out on impact... but he is fine.. just got to see what is causing his side to hurt.. i think it is just from the impact..

glad he's okay dave, i suppose the taxi driver will get away scott free even though you could say he 'caused' the accident :mad2:

Glad nobody is badly hurt, just shaken up.

Typical bloody taxi drivers.............don't give a toss for other road users

Hateful that Dave, i had the same last year.
My two lads hit a bloody lorry on a corner.
Lucky to to walk away also.

glad your son is ok dave.

Hope everything is ok with your lad Dave...

 

[DHTiling]

He is home.... full check over and Doc says he has very bad whiplash to his back thorax area and side, apart from that he is fine.. still shuck up but he will be sore tomorrow...

Just got wait for his insurance to get confirmation from the other lad who banged both cars that he accepts it was his fault and then he will get a courtesy car and then they can proceed to get his car fixed we hope..

He has just started a new job a week ago , so is wary of taking time off.. but we will see what tomorrow brings, he is ok that is what counts..

 

[hillhead]

Has he left the tiling Dave?

 

[DHTiling]

That is my younger son Joe.... this one a bit older..

Three days rest after whiplash and shock, Dave, the shock may well come out more tomorrow, and he may be stiff as a board as well. Absolutely 3 days minimum rest for everything to settle back into place. Whiplash means temporary overstretching, it needs time to settle.

 

[hillhead]

Ok, accidents are bad.
Time off work etc too, one of my lads had a broken bone in the hand in their accident.
The insurance company gave him over 5k for it so he wouldn't claim in future.
It's great he walked away although he'll be sore for a while too.

 

[DHTiling]

Doc said it might take 2 to 3 weeks to fully recover from this type of whiplash... i know he will be stiff and what it is like as i have been in an accident before... he will have to see what the next couple days brings...


Just to say thanks for the posts on concern

 

[user123]

yes, the three days have nothing to do with full recovery, they are there for the settling process, really really important. The proper recovery comes after that, but it's a little like the timing of a bruise, first it has to come out without being aggravated, and then in time it changes colour and disappears. He's young which is good, but really put it to him that 3 days just being really still will really be a good thing in the long run. Bless him... main thing is that he'll be ok.
