My astravan is no more. Not sure if any of you on here recognise it, I've put up pics before.
Basically, January 10th, someone pulled out infront of me on dual carriageway to cross to the other side. I hit him and went into crashbarrier.
Me and the girlfriend had to be cut out of the van and I've been left with a not so nice scar on my head now
Turns out the driver of the other car has been on the road less than a year and this is his 2nd crash already. He's been charged with dangerous driving, so he should be put off the road hopefully.
Still waiting on a settlement from insurance, been getting offered ridiculous amounts but getting there.

Couple of pics of the van:









How it did look:

At least you are still here to tell the tale. Metal can be replaced but people can't.

Shit matey! That's not good!!

Glad you're both okay though! Hopefully you'll get higher settlement fees from the insurers!

Any figure on your scar? Seeing as it's cut your modelling career short?
