Just bin to fill up an on the way back was driving down the dual carriage way and saw a ball of flames in middle of the grass verge inbetween the two sides of the roads first of not really thinking about it thought it was someone had set something on fire there, got a bit closer and turned out to be a car  , with another car on the other side of the road all smashed up and a big metal fence completly demolished.
weird thing is the car that was in flames didnt look as though had bin dented/battered up from the accident.
just a weird thing to drive past a car up in flames, i passed it just before all the rescue services had arrived (didnt stop as there were loads of people there already and well... i wouldnt have a sodding clue what to do) just hope everyone was alright from it and considering there were no ambulances around i can only assume that is the case.
That is all from my very otherwise dull evening.

Worst I had seen was on International Drive in Florida, car was on its roof spinning round still with the guy still inside (car wasnt damaged much tbh) - we must of missed the accident by seconds tbh.

I remember seeing one a while back, me and my brother had been playing football in Wigan, we were driving back down a back lane, spotted hazard lights up ahead so slowed down then as we got closer we saw, just before the car with the hazards on, another car on it's roof facing the hedges, makes you think, especially when it's a road I've ragged round on many occasions.

I remember last winter coming down the M2 towards London and seeing a Ambulance on its side, followed by 4-5 cars who had crashed in different locations in a 2 mile stretch... I joined the M2 when the lights were flashing (closed) but as it was my only route to work i just thought fuck it... there was NO 1 on the motorway my side for 2 miles and i drive past lots of crashes (none really serious just because of the ICE)... One guy died further up but i didnt see that.

mate of mine got a written warning at work for beng late one day (i know extream) anyway his excuse was that there was a fire on the M25 and he was stuck in traffic.. he got let off when he produced a video he took of it as he went past.
i've been driving down to coventry before and seen 2 land rovees turn over going down the motorway as the winds were that bad

I saw that Lambo Matt aswell.
Boz i thought the one that crashed there was an xe that the driver had only finished that night or something, had standards suspension and brakes.
