nasty accident in Skye

[Carol]

Thank you! All fine, a bit shaken up but no serious injuries

Really pleased to hear this, whatever the cause it must have been so scary hope your insurance handles the claim quickly and your back on the road.

CWH Wendy was that your van behind.

Good morning teenyfifi and welcome to the forum.
Don’t dwell on what might have been at least you are both still alive.

Shame about the circumstances but pleased to hear your safe

 

[sueandjohn]

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

Why are folks so judgemental - no one know the facts

 

[sciac2001]

I find it a bit distressing when I see a motorhome involved in an accident. Similar sadness as when I see a ship sinking beneath the waves.

teenyfifi glad to hear you are okay, albeit it very shaken. That must have been very scary and very upsetting
I hope you get everything sorted out quickly.

Hope you’re both feeling a bit better this morning, probably aching and stiff all over!
Now look forward, put that behind you and concentrate on getting sorted and join ‘fun so you can reap the knowledge on here.

 

[Ralph-n-Bev]

Glad you are both ok , must have been a very scary moment for you both .

 

[coutts1983]

Who painted the roof on that? Terrible job

Haha wouldn’t let them loose on my coving.

So glad that you are both OK.
There are, unfortunately, some good threads on here detailing dealing with insurance and loss from fire to theft through accidents, and even getting good valuation. You might find it useful to join up and benefit from members experiences. It is going to be a tough time for sure to get things sorted and on the road again.
As a supportive collective we would also benefit from your experiences if you feel able to share.
Yes, it is a social media forum and sometimes people jump in with information without knowing all the facts but hopefully that doesn’t put you off.
Best Wishes.

Glad you are both OK. What happened?

 

[CWH]

teenyfifi I'm so pleased that you're ok, it's looks really scary. I hope Broadford looked after you well.
please let me know if you need any local info or if you need anybody to go to Macrae's for anything (assuming your moho will be there for some time)

Wendy was that your van behind.

no

Why are folks so judgemental - no one know the facts

exactly
I know this road well, I know how drivers behave on it and how often I've had to 'manage' situations with other drivers (very often, foreign tourists forgetting which side of the road they should be on, or just stopping to take photos) - bad enough in my pvc, it would be much more difficult in a large m/h, though that may well not have been the cause in this instance
but whatever that cause, thank goodness for a 'safe' outcome for the driver and passenger

 

[cossie303]

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

 

[cossie303]

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

Or maybe had a medical episode whilst driving... or something broke on the the motorhome... or had to make a sudden change of direction for whatever reason, blow out on front tyre, who knows?

They do, but they've not told us yet

And I’d advise them not to either.

 

[movan]

teenyfifi I am so pleased that you have found this forum. If you can get support anywhere it will be here. The lovely CWH is a lovely contact. Please keep us all informed, one way or another, how you are getting on.

 

[PaulC70]

Completely up to them, interesting they've taken the time to join up and refute the speculation though which I guess will continue if they don't let people know what happened or what they think happened to them.
Shame especially if it can act as a warning / help other motorhomers in similar circumstances.

Doubtless there's an insurance claim coming up, so best leave it to them.
'We' have no right to that information.

 

[Oldrat]

The speculation is mere noise.
They need to consider any potential legal action.

The MHF accident investigation branch have already uncovered the exact cause of the crash.

 

[PaulC70]

Wow, how things turn so quickly

 

[Carol]

They do, but they've not told us yet

Why should they most people are advised not to say anything on social media after an accident and I would think teenyfifi has enough to think about with out needing to tell us.

Ive already suggested why, it's about 3 posts ago BUT others then raised the social media aspect etc which is fair enough and I assume only applies if there are other parties involved otherwise there shouldn't be an issue.

 

[Rob Turner]

If blood was brown they probably thought they’d been shot.

Bit judgmentall let's have him in prison locked up and awaiting exicution

 

[nicholsong]

Can we be sure that new member teenyfifi who only joined this forum at about 2300 on the day of the accident was actually the driver of that vehicle? Seems a strange time to join a forum.

Can anyone confirm the crashed MH is a Benimar, which is named in teenyfifi's Avatar?

He may be genuine but I wonder.

You can see it in the photo. Why would anyone make it up?

Interesting results if you Google ‘Teenyfifi’
