if any one has the balls to offer comments regarding todays truck versus car accident on Hewletts road , make sure you are clear on the facts, dont post pure dribble.The truck that appears in the photos and was damaged was not at fault and was clearly on the other side of the centre concrete island.The damaged car collided backward after being projectiled into the opposite lane.


Weird!

The piece of debris behind the car in the top photo looks like a cat lying down.How did the car come to be colliding backwards with the truck on the opposite side of the median?
