Both the police are saying "Ello ello ello, what's going on 'ere then?" Two lots of ambos attend but they don't know what the injuries were. Sorry, not "Don't know", just unsure. Perhaps Gazza could have said they'd been taken to hospital for "observation", or "as a precaution" or, maybe that's what they do when they're unsure. Tauranga Ambulance says to Mount Ambulance "Waddya reckon?" Mount Ambulance replies "Dunno, what now?" Tauranga Ambulance: "Hospital?" Still, on the bright side only minor traffic delays occurred. Usually it's blocked for hours when they do an "assessment" With this one, one's scratching at a mag wheel (a likely culprit, seeing its still inflated by the look of it and pointing the right way) and the other's posing as a "spot the ball" contestant, whilst looking at a spot that's likely some distance from where things started to go awry. Hopefully the occupants were only shaken and if worse, recover quickly.

The cause of the crash was a 'hit and run' so if anyone knows of the **** that did it then make sure you report them to the police! He didn't have a care in the world that he could have killed the two occupants in that car! Although, whoever knows is probably just as much of a ***** as the driver that caused this accident and wont do anthing about it! Actually 'tibs' on the bright side the two occupants, one being a 4 year old boy, LUCKILY escaped with minor injuries! Haven't you got better things to do with your time than make a mockery of a serious hit and run???
