Looking like the Toyota may have been to blame by the position they are on the road.... hope everyone recovers, so hard when kids involved.
not good at all. its amazing to see how little damage to the patrol was done compared to the tarago!
I got red dust in my veins.

If thats the case, i can understand how easy it could happen on that road, lots to look at driving along, lots of funny camber bends, sand across the road in places and no white centre lines ,tourists that don't know the road.
Patrol could just have easily been cutting the corner, so the torago and the patrol swerved to avoid each other, ending up where they did.
I think the damage to the patrol will be worse on the other side front, and i bet its quite bad, i would not be surpized if its a write off, i think the Torago looks worse at a glance because the side doors are still open.
There was also a roll over in glasshouse last night that required the EMQ chopper to trsnsport to hospital , a timely reminder to play safe , they also attended the roll over at double island last week . My sisters hubby is a pilot with them , they post on facebook EMQ rescue 500 , its worth following to see what they get up to ,
Once again play safe and hope you never need them

If ya not using it buy a prius .....
Overseas tourist hired the van. Looks like they were driving on the wrong side of the road to me.

With all those terrible injuries I can't help thinking seat belts weren't worn either.

drove that road several times on the weekend and if it happened late afternoon the sun is absolutely blinding on many parts along that stretch!
