It was Saturday 21st of October. I was with a mate and his dad in our Toyota Hiace Van 1989 model. We had a heavy load and I was on a country dirt road. I was approaching the corner and i was slowing down. I hit loose gravel and spun 20 metres and then the van tipped over. It was facing the way we were coming from on the other side of the road when it tipped over. So it basically did 180 degrees. Everyone is alright. The side of the van it landed on has structural damage and dints. No windows broke but the side one came out slightly. We were only 2 k's from our destination where we were going to do stuff. If it wasn't for seat belts there would have been serious injury. I stayed in the same position i was as i was driving. I am bigger than the other 2 and would have squashed them. As soon as it happened i asked if everyone was alright then I opened the door. Geez van doors are hard to open when you are underneath one. Sat on the top of the van, the other 2 got out and helped me down as I had a knee reconstuction almost 16 weeks ago.
Got help from the people we were going to help. Rolled the van back over. Took 2 hours to get it drivable for me to drive it back to my mates house. We had no idea where to put the Jack to change the back tyre. The front left one was flat when i got to my friends place. We will find out tomorrow how bad the damage is. It will probably be a write-off. I have slight neck pain coz of the force the neck got. The other people have no pain at all.
A year I am never going to forget. Knee reconstruction and then a bad accident. I have bad luck. I said during the year I havn't had an injury playing footy, 2 weeks later i did a knee. I then was saying how I have been on my P's for almost 12 months and I havn't crashed. A few weeks later it happened. I should watch what I say. The worst thing is the year isn't over yet.
Have any of you been in a similar situation? Have you had an accident? How bad was the damage. Feel free to say what you have experienced.
