Thanks for that Bill. It's just so interesting for me to read accounts of this from all who passed by the accident scene. I spoke to the owner of the car today - nice lady. She did mention to me that a police officer told her that it was suprising how often such accidents happen along there. ( Beach Rd, Esplanade, etc). That at least makes me feel less of a fool. Keep your heads up everyone!
Sounds from all accounts you were lucky to keep your head, let alone up!
