I was standing still in lane where Citroen C8 is on this picture. Truck was driving in the middle lane (where police officer is in picture). There was red light and truck driver was speeding. Hi didn't noticed light change so he was forced to do heavy breaking. Brakes on trailer were faulty, trailer slid and hit me. After that Land was carried across the crossroad...



This is what happend. Landy save my family becoue hi vas big enought to withstand this impact...

Now I have to wait for police report and insurance money. After that Landy is going to be fixed again...

Every bloody rust spot was cut avay and replaced with new metal plate.
Wurth rust off was used and MIPA rust protection on every part of landy.

Final result before painting:



Finnaly on the road again...
