Xc60 saved my life today
Wrote off my xc.60 today. Thank God I was in a Volvo. Swerved to avoid lorry in fast lane on at 70. Went into back of a van at about 40. Walked away without a scratch

Volvo for life...I suspect that's why many of us drive them.
Very glad to hear you escaped unscathed! David

Let's just hope there's another to replace it on my company car list when the insurance is sorted.
The police said the Volvo safety helped. |

Glad to hear you were unscathed. Was that the accident which blocked the A1 near Durham ?

How is the van driver ?
Have you injured him/her, put him out of business, damaged his income ?

Did you witness the incident? Or do you have access to the motorway CCTV?
If not, how do you know what really happened? Last edited by cumbrianmale; Aug 24th, 2016 at 11:34. Reason: Remove quoted post deleted |

Your car did its job, that's why we have them. Glad you're okay (and that goes for everyone involved, of course). Cars are replaceable
