only had my L200 2 weeks and written off!!

[doug boardley]

I was parked in a layby whilst I picked a duvet up from a house, coming down the drive and I heard an almighty smash, ran to see my yoot was shunted into the middle of the road with the back end and rear drivers side all smashed in and a car with it's front end all smashed up slewed in the middle of the road. MY KIDS WERE IN THE BACK!! Luckily they were okay thank god!! Woman driver failed a breathalizer (I was negative).Luckily there was a few witnesses and she was carted off to police station.
