I was alerted by mark of a truck rollover on healy street toowoomba this morning so I got dressed and got up thier as quick as possible and snapped off a few shots (my rivals had been and gone by the time I got there approx 25 minutes after it happened) so I thought I'd just post a creative one I took of the scene.

you're right it's definatly blown because the metering for the shot was coming off the truck. :)

Haha yeh thats what I normally expect auxiliary coats to look like, maybe this one is an older one they pretty much all looked like this it was just a MVA/grassfire coat too.

here's a pic of the truck close up.

Could only get a pic of the car on the back of a tow truck, they work too fast in toowoomba.

Edited post with truck in it to include the car.

The doors on the peugot still opened, despite haveing it's front spashed in right the way to the end of the crumple zone, just goes to show how good the standards of euro car are compares to ours.
