Not a lot of point buying a ticket - I think their luck was all used up there.

Glad you all came through without being knocked around too much.

Wow, glad you're alive.

Did the A pillar get chopped off by the accident or was that done afterwards? WIth the damage to the front of the roof I'm amazed you didn't lose your head altogether.

Glad you are relatively unhurt.
The rear seems much better than the front. Was there a cargo barrier installed that has braced the rear?
I had a flat front tyre on my FJ40 many years ago about 300 metres from home and it was so hard to steer I could not even drive that short distance at about 5 km/h.

Far out!! I hope you said a prayer of thanks as someone was definitely watching out over you . As an ex fire fighter that is nastyyyy . Watch out for closed head injuries symptoms (google it if in doubt), I had them after a fall through a ceiling while wearing breathing apparatus and smacked my head hard enough on the floor to have a brain rattler head ache for two weeks after.
Well done to the truckie .I sincerely wish you both a speedy recovery

Holy snapping duck ****, (it's a old kiwi phrase), I'm glad the both of you are alive to tell us the story.

Even though the truck is tucker, I'd be giving it one last "Thank you for keeping us alive" hug before she's gone.

To see a LR/RR destroyed is a sad thing, but it is a good recommendation to see you can survive a crash like that, in one.

Heal quickly, and start looking for her replacement.

Makes me think, roll bar, 1/2 cage or full cage?

far out! glad you are both ok poor ole defender though, will have to get another one similar then hey!

Very, very lucky.

I've had an instant deflation at 110km/h on a corner on the Putty Rd but was lucky it was the unloaded (inside) front tyre, so I was able to slow and steer safely to a stop.

Not a pleasant experience for you at all.
