Long Live Mercedes (19 photos)

A terrible accident ... Well, it all went to the driver and passenger were unharmed. Further, the author's text.

Yesterday went under the wagon. Everyone is alive. All are healthy. The first accident in my life, when I'm really glad its consequences.




Around 15.10 in the 358 km of A / D Moscow to St. Petersburg, I wanted to stop by the gas station. Including the right blinker, left sympathetic to the right. On one was tidy, it was snowing. In general - as the sipets slippery. I begin to slow down - as the car was, and is. Apparently, too, without being able to slow down Left me starts to bypass the wagon, but almost all of those hundreds of meters, she was near the rear of the left wing. I'm trying to give the gas and go in front of her - the car stalled, but the rate increased slightly, to climb under the wheels of a loaded wagon, I did not want to. Gas released, the brake has not acquired, I tried to steer - ZERO. As we walked along the roadside and walked. Turning to the gas station: steering wheel on the right, without pedals - a zero, under the gas - zero, turn on bezokolonku slid past the front ass truck. Steering wheel to the left, the brake is clamped, the chatter of ABS ... Beat, the smell of gunpowder ... "Alive?" "Yes, do you?" "Yes».



















While standing came to himself - at the entrance to bezokolonku where I originally wanted to call braked spare current black. While he was asking how to help - we are far away distant flashes Honda Civic, signals, we had to depart with Dima, but BACH - Honda Mercy in the pope.





Total: empirically, it was found that the W210 Restayl stronger Honda Civic, but no match wagon.



Clearance accident waiting 5 hours - a lot of other accidents. In the process began searching tow - all either employed or celebrate March 8 (on a calendar, by the way, it was the ninth). Throwing the car was not very cool. As a result, we found the radio, began to yell in the air or low-loader or car carrier. 1, 5 hours of searches - found the head of Volvo with a trailer for the transport of heavy machinery. A man told me that usually carries excavators and other outsized. He told me many interesting things - his words may good stuff in the magazine even get ;-)









The head and the emotions of the truck - a topic for another story.





The IIC I handled on a tow truck and taken to the service. I am waiting for the calculation.



Summary of findings and outcomes:
On rubber (even the spare wheel) can not save;
Even if you do not drive - you can get out very well;
Be sure to always wear your seat (we were both wearing and never regret, I have a bruise on his chin, Dimka had - on the chest);
Mercedes I sincerely thanked for the fact that now I'm at work, not in a hospital or God forbid even worse. If you pay attention - hood formed accordion, and I did not go to the salon. Normally Ocellata worked. Clever it;
Thank you to put wagons underride guard.
