eman   10 #1 Posted July 21, 2009 Just had to turn round as Meadowhead is closed both directions, saw it land and then take off again! Right in the middle of the road!  Was pretty cool, but I hope the person inside is ok - I think someone has driven into a pedestrian, only one car, windscreen smashed inwards, solitary shoe in the middle of the road. Hope they are OK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
