I have.....  May as well be written in Vietnamese....
In Noorwegen is een spectaculair ongeval gebeurd met een vrachtwagen en een takelwagen. De vrachtwagen zat vast op een besneeuwde helling. Toen een takelwagen probeerde de truck los te trekken, ging het mis. De vrachtwagen gleed van de weg en sleurde de takelwagen mee in de afgrond. De chauffeur van de takelwagen kon nog net op tijd ontkomen. De trucker donderde in zijn cabine mee naar beneden. Maar als bij wonder overleefde hij de klap. Hij liep enkele breuken op.

In Norway, a spectacular accident happened to a truck and a tow truck. The truck was stuck on a snowy slope. When a tow truck tried to pull the truck, it went wrong. The truck slid off the road and dragged along the tow truck into the abyss. The driver of the tow truck was just in time to escape. The trucker bellowed in his cab downstairs. But if by a miracle he survived the crash. He walked a few fractures. (raw images Gunn Iren Johnsrud/TV2 - 02/04/12) amazing what a little SEARCH reveals. |

Chuffing hell! Glad they got out okay. Interestingly enough, Falck used to use Land-Rovers, back in the day when they made proper ones.

Was heading up a twisty narrow road one frosty day. Suddenly a tractor towing a load of sand came sliding down to meet me-trailer first. Thankfully there was a twist in the road which the sliding backwards combination failed to make and ended up in the hedge instead of clattering in to me. Seems the farmer was taking the sand up to sand the road to his house. All happened very quickly but it was a brown trousers in the washing machine job.

Many years ago I was transporting lambs up one of the estate roads which had been recently tarmacced. This road went up a sharp straight hill through a wood and it was autumn so you know what's going to happen next! I had a Dire hat sue long wheelbase pickup and an Ifor Williams stock trailer on, 50 odd fat lambs on 2 decks and away we went up the hill. We allmost got to the top but all the lambs were favouring the back of the trailer(due to gravity) and so the back wheels lost grip
So gravity played a part in my progress and even with smoke coming off all tyres no grip was to be found and back down the hill we went  A split second of genius by dipping the clutch on a hard lock enabled me to jack-knife the combination, not bad on a single track road. Drop the ramp and get all the lambs out, quickly as they were all on top of each other and let them run to the top with the dogs. The trailer empty was a doddle up the hill, reload and carry on to market, only lost an hour out of my day but after that I used to pinch all the spare tractor weights and chuck in the back, never did get stuck with that motor |
