nasty accident in Skye

[CWH]

About an hour ago northbound towards Sconser
Hoping no serious injuries

Broken Link Removed

 

[Lenny HB]

How did they manage that? Maybe caught the verdge and flipped it.

 

[Landy Andy]

Who painted the roof on that? Terrible job

 

[CWH]

It's steepish, narrowish, fastish, a couple of difficult bends, and a few viewpoints.

At least it will be easy to clean the underneath.
Hope whoever is involved is ok though.

Looks like he left the road before flipping over.

Just thinking that, looks like he was going the same direction as cars in picture, crossed the lane where we can see a tyre has gone into the verge then it's flipped it.

 

[bobnick]

Should clean his solar whilst it's easy to get to.

Faint offside tyre mark on the road veering off to the right side, leading to gouges in the grass.

Both front wheels showing signs of normal braking (can’t quite see due to the quality of the image) until off road where they were locked up probably due to the softer surface hence the soil marks showing only on one segment of each front tyre.

My educated guess is that for some reason it veered towards the right went off-road and the FNS wheel dug in and momentum took it over.

As soon as I spotted that I knew there would be comments on the roof

Yep, either going too fast or not paying attention :-(

Looks like he hit the bank hard with the right hand side front, you can see circled the front crossmember how its bent backwards, and if you look at the angle change between the two lines you can see how much the engine, gearbox lower arm have come backwards....

... quite likely, but whether by this driver or another one > evasive action ... who knows!

Most likely both

The back body is twisted as well so def write off. I wonder if it will reappear for sale when fixed.

Both occupants at hospital but "walking wounded"
Moho being recovered now

 

[Mousy]

What a terrible thing to happen to someone. I hope nobody was injured but even if not, how awful to be in an accident, probably miles from home and have your lovely van and contents wrecked.
Poor people.

 

[Coastal Cruiser.]

Looks ok, that’ll buff out nicely

 

[irnbru]

What a fright the occupants must’ve had. At least they have survived. Their van can be replaced.

My like was for the wounded being walking!

Lucky escape for them.

Don't think they will sleep well tonight. at least they are safe.

 

[Otter Spotter]

What size is the solar panel? Just asking for a friend

 

[Landy Andy]

Can’t imagine what noise/sound must be like with all the cupboards emptying.

Probably not far off what the yacht was last week when we heeled over with the crockery not very well secured!. I would have thought that the side scraping down the tarmac was a fair bit louder

Most likely both

Actually I was doing 40 and was paying attention
