guys , not good at all . while we were towing the VL back home , the trailer we hired started to sway . my dad who was driving couldnt control it and we started drifting onto the other side of the road . car was swaying all over the road and traffic was approaching . dad couldnt control it and he hit head on with another car . aparently my dads 4x4 rolled up to 5 times and my car flew off the trailer . me and my brother got taken to the royal melbourne and my best mate and my dad were taken to the northern . i suffered head injuries , my brother a broken leg , my mate just cuts n bruises and my dad got a broken rib , broken jaw and sever bruising . both cars are right-offs and it just shatters me to think that we couldve died last night . i have been sent home aswell as my mate and my bro n dad are still in hospital . we are so so lucky not to die and i recon its coz of the airbags which saved our lives . my cousin has gone to take photos of the cars now and i will try to post them later in the afternoon of 2moro .

Glad to hear you are ok mate... Trailers are hard to control when they start swaying... The reason they do sway is cos there is too much weight on at the rear of the trailer. For next time remember, bring the car that is on the trailer as far forward as possible to elleviate the chance of sway...

went to see the car this morning . damn its a mess . still cant believe it . VL is fully *****ed . holes in the bonnet , springs all over the joint , glass everywhere . only things i could get out from it is the deck , subs , a few little bits n pieces from inside (cds , P plates , etc.) gona get the steering wheel out 2moro . went and saw the prado aswell . cant believe we got out of it alive . AIRBAGS DIDNT EVEN GO OFF. found out that the car didnt actually hit head on , the oncomming car hit the trailer which disconnected it and we got sent flying . we cleared a fence and hit prob bout 5 or 6 trees on the way through . loading the pics up now and should be up later this afternoon . but be warned , its not a pretty site .
