Damaged TVR on low loader

[malman]

Just been told by a guy at work he saw a Cerbera (darkish red colour possibly) on a low loader heading down the Washington highway from the 194M this morning with drivers side damage.

Anyone on here.

Hope all involved are OK

Hi everyone I'm afraid that it was Darrens Cerb. He hit the barrier and was then T-boned. He has been sent home from the hospital and is a bit bruised. Apparently the car the hit him was doing 40+ mph!

I've just spoken to Darren - he is OK but sore and all the other emotions too. I am so sorry to here what happend and am so pleased he is OK.

Glad he's ok.

Such a shame about the car, I know how much it was cherished.

Yep shame about the car but that can be replaced. Glad he's in one piece

Yes it was me .... the back end stepped out at approx 60MPH in 4th Gear on a straight section of the A1231 beside the Galleries @ Washington. Corrected it one way then the other then head on into the barrier, spun the car through 360 degress hitting the rear on the way as i stopped facing the barrier another car T Boned me as a significant speed into the passanger side causing the door to come in approx 18 inches.
Overall i was very lucky it could have been worse, very sore and bruised along with a few cuts and a dozen stitches.
Just my pride really hurt. I'll post some photo's when i go to collect my personal possessions.

Really sorry to hear of your spin, and glad your injuries are only minor. They're reasuringly strong these TVR's under the skin....

Good luck with the insurance, it's only money, metal and GRP at the end of the day
