Title: JPC Accident
Post by: termietermite on June 12, 2008, 02:29:01 pm
JPC has just phoned me from hospital in Alencon.  He is OK but being checked over.  The Skooby is a write off but on its way to MB on the back of a trailer with Dave.

If anybody has his mobile phone number would they please pm me ASAP

Mobile number now got.

He's called me again and sounds OK but a bit shaken, as you would expect.

None as yet, Randy, as he sounds a bit shocked but by the sounds of things no obvious damage to him.  It happened on the motorway so was obviously a high speed job.  Thank goodness for the strength of modern cars.

I spoke to the rest of the JPC team at 6 o'clock and he had been released from hospital and was on his way to the circuit. 

The car apparently aquaplaned off the motorway in a heavy downpour and bounced off the central reservation, the concrete barrier, and back to the central reservation again.

Kev sounded to be the most battered of the car's occupants but even he is just strapped up and fine apparently.  Although I doubt that the next few nights sleeping on a blow-up bed will be very comfortable.  Just bumps and bruises so no damage done that won't heal - apart from to the car which after all is just metal and can be replaced.

 ::) Glad to hear that they seem to be all OK.

A few Tropicomas should help brighten up the weekend again. Remember cars can be properly fixed, but JPC is the only one who can fix a proper Tropicoma  >:D ;)

Wooooooahhhhhh Mark, good to hear you are ok buddy. Termie can you keep us informed? I couldn't make it this year but could do to know that Mark is OK.

I saw Mark last night, he was somewhat subdued and shaken by the whole episode, but only suffered a cracked rib. At least it's only the car that was seriously damaged...

Glad to hear everyone was ok. We drove past the scene after the accident when the vehicle was starting to be recovered it looked like a massive impact. I have to say from the state of the Subaru and the sand being put on the road that we feared the worst for those on board.

Hope you all enjoyed Le Mans anyway. The car can be replaced - bodies not so easy.

Even a high speed crash can't stop him singing Mustang Sally. Is there nothing that will save us from that song?  ;D
