After persuading me to go out for dinner tonight, my friend's boyfriend offered to take us clubbing. We was going to a club in Rochester which is half hour drive from my house, straight down the A2.

After picking up two of my friends boyfriend's, mates we all bundled into his saxo. We'd just got on to the motorway when we hit traffic, about 20 cars in front of us there was an accdient. We was there for about an hour, playing eye-spy, then suddenly we got moving.

Somehow we got ahead of the rest of the cars, and so had the whole motorway ahead of us. I was sitting looking out my window, cramped between some dude and the left side of the car thinking about dancing and clubbing for the 3rd time this week.

Out of nowhere came another car, in front of us. My friends boyfriend swerved to avoid it but it still hit us. We went spinning from fast lane into the slow lane and hit one of them metal things (right now i can't think for the life of me what they are called) which stop cars going over the sides. Anyways, we went sideways into them and now my shulder is all bruised and my head hurts-ALOT.

We jumped out the car and looked at the mess on the motorway. My coat which was in the boot was about 10 meters away and in the middle lane, and my bag which was on my lap was another 10 meters away. My mate's boyfriend told us that a car was coming in the opposite direction. I'm no expert on cars, but there was at least 3 write-off's, including the Saxo.

I remember everything about the crash, and my mate don't. I'm still trying to work out which is a better way to have it. I've spent the last 3-ish hours running it through in my head and crying.

Me and my friend, and her boyfriend all went to hospital. My mum and dad came to pick me up and got told that the other driver was an 82 year old man, driving the wrong way on the motorway. He died. I also got told I was very lucky to be alive.

Anyways. Sorry to bore you all, just had to get that off my chest no jokes please, not in the mood

I'd hate to be in that situation, glad you're alright.

And Puddin is Lori, most of the time, but sometimes EB uses her account, the original post was by Lori though. If that makes sense...

Hold up... Pudding is English Bloke? Hmm, I thought it was a girl.

Why would EB lie about this? He's a policeman for crying out loud! The cynicism on this board amazes me sometimes, you lot won't be happy until he's posted pictures of his bruises and a detailed flash animation of the event in question. Morons.

How horrible for you. Glad to hear you suffered nothing more than shock and some bruising.

How someone could think that you'd make this up is beyond me.

Have I got this right? Are you persisting in the bizarre accusation that she made this up?

Car crashes suck.

"Car crash
Ending your day
At the side of the road
Are you trembling?
Are you trembling?
They'll wake up today
To the papers that say
"Oh well" it was too hard to tell
He was swerving, they were swerving
Much too late"

Basically your friends are trying to gain a few quid out of a tragic situation. While the accident was his fault, the driver of the oncoming vehicle was killed in the crash, while your friends walked away. Outside of being a bit shaken up your friends have lost nothing, and anything they have lost is covered by insurance. To try and use this situation for profit is imo pretty immoral.

That's utterly pathetic.

A good 100,000 words less I'd imagine.

Only kidding, sorry to hear you were nearly killed
