Times like that makes you appreciate being in a big 4x4.

He appears to have hit square on right across the rear crossmember, hence so little obvious damage to the RRS. I just hope that there isn't damage to the chassis... |

I notice electrics cover off - did you have towbar on? I cannot see in the pic - I leave mine on now all the time for this reason (having encountered it once) towbar seems to give that bit of protection......

I agree it's the hidden aspects of a crash. At least you weren't in a Mini or Smart car Gone: RRS : HSE : TDv6 : 57 : Java Black : Ebony : 20" |

No towbar fitted - the cover just seems to have popped off in the accident and I didn't fancy loking for it in the debris in the outside lane. Had 3 passengers in the car at the time - just returning home from the Goodwood Revival Festival - seemed fine at the time but have a very sore neck and upper back now. Odd you mention a Smart car - the missus drives one of them |

Have also been involved in a less serious incident recently but the other car was a Honda CRV. Makes you appreciate having the extra weight of a Land Rover to protect you. The person who stopped and gave his details as a witness to my incident was most impressed how the RRS pulled up from 55-60mph in about 3 car lengths in a straight line despite having 2 wheels well offroad and sunk into a muddy soft verge before I steered back onto the right side of the carriageway and halted. The Honda ended up facing in the opposite direction to that which it was travelling fortunately with only a dented rear passenger door 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Thanks for all the kind wishes. We are all relatively well - a few headaches, stiff necks and sore backs but compared to what could have happened feel we have all come out of it safely due to the RRS.

Surprise surprise it's a BMW driver Glad you're ok Make sure you milk that whiplash. I'm sure you will all need several weeks of private physio treatment (Speaking as an Ex Combat Medic - I would honestly strongly advise getting some treatment asap as whiplash is not nice and can cause long term problems if not treated properly in the early stages. A GP might give you a neck collar, DON'T wear one get some ice packs and see a sports physio or Osteopath ) TDV6 - gone TDV8 - gone Audi Q5 3.0 Tdi Sline wef 6/11/10 |

Could have been worse nick, you could have been in a car. A proctologist might be a good idea...
