Things that go BUMP in the night!

We woke at 5am today to a loud crash and the sound of our 4WD alarm going off.

We got out of bed and ran outside to find a man had crashed into my vehicle parked on the side of the road.

It seems he had fallen asleep at the wheel on his way home from a friend's house. He was only a few hundred metres from his home 2 streets away! Ours was the only vehicle on the side of the straight stretch of road. Fate! Luckily he wasn't hurt too badly but we called an ambulance anyway.

The impact pushed the 4WD a few metres up over the kerb and into a tree. Had the 4WD not been there he might have hit the tree and been hurt much worse. Had the 4WD or Tree not been there he might have driven up onto Al's new lawn and damaged that, then Al would have hurt him much worse!

Luckily he was insured and so are we and within 2 1/2 weeks my vehicle was written off and the money was in my bank. It was all like a bad dream.
