Terrific capture of one of life's frustrating moments (or even longer..)! Glad you're doing well and am pulling for Tony also! #1382311

Glad your feeling better, well wishes for Tony!
Gawkers always slow down traffic in a accident usually more than the accident. Great capture!! #9442639

Oh dear! I have seen too many of THESE in my time. Always sad. My Hubby and I used to have a job that had us driving across the USA and BACK in one weeks time. We made several trips doing this. Probably 100 times in 5 years. We saw some messy things in those days.

Hope everyone was alrght and glad you made your appontment, Chris!

Everyone was so lucky, at the busiest time of the day, no-one else was involved. Thanks for commenting. #9447027

It really gives you a reality check when you see accidents like this. Glad you are feeling ok. #9447641

We could very well have been involved, we had to stop after leaving & phone home to make sure Tony's Ute was locked. It put us behind about 10 to 15 minutes, just about when this happened, how lucky was that!! #9449297
