On my way back from Lincoln on the A1 near Grantham (3:45) watching all the LRO show traffic go by in the northbound lane I saw what must have been a nasty crash. The fire brigade were in the process of cutting people free of a green Defender (90?) which was on its roof with a very long caravan on its side up the embankment amongst the trees a few yards further along. The passenger looked to be communicating with the fireman from what I could see trapped in the vehicle but the drivers side had come off worse and looked like the vehicle had ricocheted of the trees. The Defender was in front of where the caravan had landed and by comparison the caravan looked in quite good shape and must have only tipped up when it came into contact with the embankment. I imagine with a caravan of that size the vehicle can't have been going above 60 but what can have happened to cause such a catastrohic loss of control? I often tow transporters etc with my 90 and really don't want there to be a chance of a similar thing happening to me, does anyone know if the people in the Defender were ok?
Did anyone on their way to/from the LRO show this weekend see my black 90 cabriolet with chequerplate and galv rear crossmember on the opposite side of the A1 this weekend? I must have passed several hundred Land Rovers, it's quite distinctive and a lot of people looked interested just wondered if anyone on the group went by.
