Run away truck - Fairlands

[WR 1.0]

My mate got hit by a truck earlier today when the trucks brakes failed on 14th Ave. Truck also collided with another truck . Mate is fine (bruised), bike is possibly toast.

Jeeesh. Lucky the ou is fine. Close call level sangoma.

  Suppose his cycling shorts are to be replaced as well.

 

Glad to hear he is ok.

Glad to hear he's ok. Regarding the bike... I'm pretty sure that will buff out. More seriously though.... how's that bent crank arm!

Close call, glad mate will be ok !!

[Skinnyone]

Good to hear he is ok! 

 

Brakes failed or brains failed - that is the question!

 

Looks like it happened outside the spar there, by the round abouts...

Close shave. Had no idea an XT crank could deform like that. I'd expect it to snap.

if he is not insured then he must definitely take it up with the trucking company

and road accidents fund.

Yikes!! Glas hes ok....

 

I reckon that bike will probably be toast....structurally unsound!

Yes, I thought the frame would snap before a crank would bent like that. That is one though scott!

RAF only pays for personal injury not property damage

Yip, he'll need to have a go at the liability cover on the trucks insurance. (if he wants to).
