hahaha! well i guess this is worthy of a boner award aye? no major injuries. one of the boys on the back (we have a split cab set up) nearly drowned when the tank split, the other bloke on the back walked away with a few cuts and brusies. the driver (captain) bumped his head pretty badly, but no on going problems and nearly ripped his pinky finger off, and is still suffering from a bit of depression from it all. i got a shoulder injury, inflammed sternoclavicular joint. still have a bit of a problem with it every now and then, but nothing too bad. what happened... we came onto an intersection, priority 1, we had the red light and were turning right (dont forget we drive on the left hand side over here!) and a car failed to give way to us, we had to swerve to miss him or else we would have most likely killed the driver, then the driver kept trying to get around the corner, but had too much speed for our change of course. the back end started to slip around, followed by getting up onto the 2 left wheels (probably helped by a lack of baffles in the tank, it was a 20 year old truck), then the back left hit the curb, and well, the rest is history! but were all here, we've all hopped back on the truck and no one from the general public was hurt. our driver definantly did the best he could in the situation. thanks for the concern lads!

Oops! Any injuries? What happened, other than the obvious?!
