'Twasn't....
I was minding my own business driving round a bend when another car (an 07 Yaris) going the other way to me crossed the white line and smashed into the side of me, impacting with the driver's door mirror.
The car then proceeded down my off side, damaging every panel as it went, pushing me 180 degrees, so that I ended up facing the way I had come.
In the process, the o/s rear wheel was forced off & the other left at a decidedly odd angle. The sill box section behind the driver's door was flattened, such was the impact and the airbag deployed.
The Yaris ended up crossing the road, thumping up a tall kerb & ploughing through a low brick wall & privet hedge.
BTW, my vehicle was a near fully-laden 56 Transit Connect...
Both vehicles were written off. Thankfully, I got out without a scratch & the other driver with a bruised knee.
The third party was wracked with guilt ("I could have killed you...") and admitted to the police she was speeding. My guess is she had taken her eyes off the road (for whatever reason) and "missed" the bend because there was no braking on her part. Also, it is not a severe bend, it's easy to navigate.
Despite the other driver's admissions to the police, they're not pressing charges.
