Thats me and my mate standing in the paddock. Was a doosy of a crash.
We where 1st down to him. ( both where crash rescue marshals at manfield)

He was very shaken up, broken collorbone and ribs if i remember right, massive seat belt marks across his chest and was struggling to breath.

Was funny when the targa volenteers finally got down there, lots of panic among them saying the cars about to blow ( radator was pushed back through the fan )
Trying to push us back and drag the cop out of the car, took a while but finally got them under control and on the radio.

Funny you put an orange vest on somepeople and they think they know it all.

I had it on video on my phone but it corrupted when copying it to tv3 computer.

I remember seeing a video of that crash, from memory it was some pretty classic amateur understeer. Plenty of others have been off that corner too though.

The story I heard at the time was that the cop wasn't supposed to be on the stage at all, but he forced his way into doing a 'safety check' drive through the stage by threatening to shut it down and generally being a dick about it. Never found out from anyone first hand whether that was true or not, but if it is then the crash was poetic justice.

Sounds about right, apparently he got charged for the crash as the road haddnt be officially closes yet ( thats who we throught he 1st was )

Its a mint spot seen prob 20 crashers there in 3 years of heading out. Many many more close calls too

Spotted this on my way home the other day.

It's OK. They quickly worked out their mistake and ditched it.

Can not have been insured as it would have been towed straight away

That Rav was taken by two nephews who went for a swim after borrowing the vehicle and on the way back they crashed it and told the cops it was stolen.
Keys weren't in the ignition and it wasn't hot wired. It sounds like the nephews are scared of their Uncle as the cop said it was finger printed and only the nephews and towees prints were in there. The Uncle that owns it hasn't reported it stolen.

That ain't the half of it. He went through a power pole and the lines were sparking on the road so he stayed in the cab until north power gave all clear to come out

Its not where I thought it was then.
And to think that Ive applied 3 times to be a fonterra steera. They obviously dont want qualified truck drivers.

Be interesting to know if there was another vehicle involved. Only a small number of tankers falling over are operator error. The majority are as a result of driver evading a wayward car. Our fleet covered over 60000km in the last 24hrs. Multiply that by the number of trucks total and it results in a huge number of kms per incident. Also add to the mix that we spend probably more time on back roads( mainly shingle,single track things) and different areas all the time. You don't really remember what is around the next corner or brow. Our area mainly covers from Culverdin to Omarama down to Herbert. Sometimes all the way to takaka, Kaikoura down to Sterling and over to Ranfurly. You can't be expected to memorise every km, but by the same token the milk needs to be picked up on time

They are known for going like fark around the top of the south.

I can't comment but that is a much smaller collection area for them and possibly know the roads better. Not making excuses for possibly poor driving but a familiar road is easier to maybe push things closer to the limit. I hate following people who don't know the road ahead. They're always on the brakes etc. give me a sales rep or courier anyday

I also hate following people who dont know the road or just habitually brake for slight bends.

But 40-50 tonne of milk tanker overtaking a group of downhill traffic by being in the uphill passing lane over the double yellows at estimated 130kph is rather silly!

True. The tankers now have GPS monitoring and G force thingames in them. Anything over 93km/hr for more than 4 seconds sends an alert thru to Hamilton, who then E mail the depot, who then call up the driver for a verbal bollocking. Same with hard cornering and braking. The boss at one stage was looking at disciplinary action for any minor incidents. Tankers are limited to true 90km/hr. Only time you're able to speed is downhill. Big brother is watching all the time and he has a big stick which he's not afraid to use

Another one up north too

No wonder the payout is low if they keep losing so much of the milk!
