    dead grande sporting drive carefully this winter

    got home from work the other night as usual,got the call that everybody dreads.

    strange number calls the phone,

    "hi central scotland police here,can you meet us at stirling royal,your wife has had an accident,the ambulance is on its way."

    got there to see the wife been carried out of the ambulance on the back board,covered in blood and muck.

    she had hit a large patch of standing water on the m 9.

    luckily a nurse,a doctor and a retired policeman were following and helped here at the scene.

    she will be okay,but looks very secondhand,cuts, bruises and an abrasion to her cornea.

    went to get some stuff from the car today and this is what I found.

    hopefully the pics will make any of the folks on here take a bit more care this winter.







    cheers

    Blimey. Bit worrying how the middle of the roof has buckled in, lucky no one was in the passenger seat.
