Carlisle, Cumbria

The guy that hit him was 3 times over the limit at 15:30. He seen the volvo coming towards him whilst he was on the hard shoulder checking a suspceted flat tyre. He was round the passenger side of the pick up when the car came towards him, so dived under the barrier. His leg was still sticking out a bit and his car went over his leg breaking his leg and ankle. He is in hospital getting it operated on. Thats all the info that was on his facebook.

Just got out from another operation on my ankle, I'm ok a bit bashed up but nothing that won't mend.

I got out to check for a flat rear tyre walked around the passenger side from around the back then checked that side was ok then wallop
I just caught the volvo in the side of my eye then jumped under the barrier, obviously my leg didn't quite make it and I got run over by my car after he tried bumming mine.

He was tree times over the limit and arrested on the scene , lucky he ws covered
The ankle is gonna put me out for a couple of months minimum!

I got back home last night via where the truck is to have a look .
The majority of it is ok , the doors open the same as before with a little bit of a lift although one Is a bit
Dented nothing too bad, it will need a new front for sure but it's my old carbon one ive had for a about 6 years, so that's not too bad .
I'm really surprised how well the frame has held up, most of the rear section will need replacing on the drivers side, I have all und measurements somewhere as soon as I can wheel my self around.

Glad I have an agreed value and the guy is covered. If I wss a few seconds slower getting out I would have been squashed in between the two cars and lost both legs if I was lucky!

Really really lucky considering, good job you reacted quickly as it could have turned out much worse for yourself, not to sound morbid but you might not even have been here to tell the tale. Looks like the back end was well constructed and probably saved it being far more damaged than it is. Good luck with the recovery and getting the car on the road again, must be frustrating having to do the work all over again 😞
