A chipped tooth and a cut to the head? Lucky or what? Smile

Cor luv-a-duck!! Lucky indeed.

I remember watching one of those 'emergency' programmes some time ago where paramedics had been called to a traffic accident. Now, I've often heard and used the phrase 'wrapped around a lamp-post' but this vehicle really was - it had been driven straight across a roundabout at high speed, taken off, rolled on landing and skidded roof first, right into and around the lamp-post.

From the comments made, and the way the car was wrapped, it was obvious they expected to remove a body but miraculously, the chap was taken out with minor injuries.

The irony was, it turned out he'd tried to kill himself a couple of times before and it was believed he'd deliberately driven recklessly ...
