Pic of my dad’s crashed car

My punch line should probably be: Don’t drive – bike! Which feels somewhat weird since my dad was in that car. But he’s allright.

Looks nasty. What did he head-on into? Give your dad's guardian angel a six pack and the afternoon off.

He head-on into this...



The other driver broke a leg – talk about luck! Anything else would have been terrible, but car drivers tend to forget that this anything else actually does happen every day. Well well, when in road accidents you should be glad if you’re in a car instead of on a bike...

Oh, I probably shouldn’t give his guardian angel the afternoon off, considering my dad’s back on his job. As a truckdriver...

Saabs are well built and designed to minimise damage to occupants and pedestrians.

I'm glad your Dad is ok. Looks like a bit of bad luck for the car.
