Anyone see Red over silver VL Calais (Calais international wheels i think), flipped on its roof? I think it was just after Tinks Road but before fountain gate shopping centre, Berwick bound. It had mounted the 3+ meter high 80deg embankment and flipped over.. I passed it at around 5:20pm.. Hope the person/s are ok..

he went to get into the middle lane from the right lane and a grey vk (POSSIBLY) hammered it into the middle lane from the left after my dad was nearly in it, and my dad saw the guy wasnt backing out so he tryed to avoid it by going left again and a car was there so he had no option but to lock them up and then hit the embankment and it got up on its side and then onto its roof and slid for maybe 25m....im shattered! its nackered..... i got a pic of it but dunno how to put it up, if somebody wants to put it up for me ill msn them the pic.

At least you were insured, sorry to hear about this mate. Can only hope the insurance company deems this as repairable, not a write off.
