Title: A Sad end Post by: Charles on 16 May, 2011, 10:08:58 AM This is what can result when you don't look in your mirror before you pull out and hence don't realise that a Y10 selectronic (with only 17 K miles on the clock) is passing you. My son Jack was overtaking a Vectra when the owner pulled out and knocked him into a telegraph post. Look where the front offside wheel ended up! Great shame about the Y10, must have been one of the best in existence but, unbelievably, Jack has only a broken right femur, cracked left ankle and cracked right forearm. Not a mark on his face or upper body and no internal injuries - thank God.

The Y10 looks a mess but presumably some of the damage was post-accident by the emergency services? Still, the offside front wheel has been moved a lot by the accident but it looks as if it didn't take up much space in the passenger compartment.
