A car had skidded and left the road, crashing into a tree. It must have spun as both ends of the car were smashed... I drove past as the towies were trying to get the truck angled to pull the car onto it.<BR/><BR/>Gave me a bit of a fright in my usual er, rather fast ascent of the Little Liverpool Range from Grandchester.<BR/><BR/>Luckily the police were there, as it was on a bend and not visible from down or up-hill.<BR/><BR/>When I was a child I was sheltered from bad things. I was never around to see "The News", and didn't take much notice of "The News" until I was in my 20s. Certainly I was sheltered from horrific things, as children should be.<BR/><BR/>(I'm rambling.. sorry!)<BR/><BR/>WV: Oborpin<BR/>Brain chemical released when certain woodwind instruments are heard...kaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05819693069445947851noreply@blogger.com
