Hubby's work van got smashed up last night......

[carole]

Well the young man turned up on our doorstep last night, to apologise for what he had done, the police caught up with him and breathalised him and he was fine, he apparently had a black -out, and is going to a Doctor today, I am giving him the benefit of the doubt, here, hope he does not prove me wrong, He was a very nice young man, who genuinely seemed concerned about what he had done.

He had only had two beers after work, so he say's, so we shall see if he comes good with coughing up the money, its going to be at least a thousand dollars.

The van is a work vehicle, belonging to the company, so hopefully everything will work out fine.

He does not even remember hitting the van or driving further on, so maybe he did indeed have a turn of some kind, I mean these things can happen sometimes.

I remember a worse incident, when I walked my daughter to school , I left her to continue on with a group of children, this car ploughed right across the road in to a house fence, and just missed my daughter and the other kids ,it was a close shave, the guy had a black-out and had three of his own children in the car, no-one was hurt, but I later met him in the supermarket and he admitted he has epilipsy(sp) and was not taking his medication, that angered me, he could have killed all those children including my girl and hit an oncoming car as well, that is irresponsible.
