So, I've just got home from hospital. Was driving home from dropping a mate off after being in Broadbeach on Tues night, was about 1.30am. I dropped him off at Merrimac (Exit 77) this is the last I remember. I then got back on the M1 to continue north to my house and hit a horse at around Exit 75. There was apparently two horses from what the lady that stopped behind me said. I can't remember anything from dropping him off to when I woke up in the Emergency Room. I wrote my car off, was in the FTO. Have two fractures in my skull and going by the pictures I honestly don't know how I am not dead or paralysed etc. Just thought I'd share the pictures with everyone.

Yeah car was inusured. The two horses were owned by the same person, they were microchipped to. So I don't have to pay for anything which is a plus. Horse died. Yeah home now they've said I have to have about 4 weeks off work, boring as cause you're to sore to do anything. Oh well. I'm just happy to be in one piece :bowrofl:

how can you not see a horse on the highway at early morning when no other cars are on the road?? were you on the drink all night?

Obviously kept your water levels up.

Maybe it was because you were knocked out first hit, your body wasn't as tense. Hence the better injury's. I've heard that if you aren't as tense in an accident, you are usually better off.

Guess it wasn't your time to go yet man. Luck or something is on your side.

I ask myself the same question, especially since there was two of them. No no alcohol involved.

fark mate, your a lucky bugger. I heard the acco over the uhf, was doing a run to coffs, as I do nearly every night.

Were the horses from the area, only reason I ask is on my way down, i passed two floats pulled over side by side on the southbound side around worongary. It almost looked as if they were gonna swap them over or something.

It would be easy to hit something were it happened, I know because your mirror is still at the scene. Its is pretty dark there and there are roadworks so not 100% sure how a horse get get across anyway.

Hope you are good now mate, its certainly the last thing you are looking for on the highway at that time of the morning

Fucking hell dude, that's an impressive crash to survive! I think I may still have photo's from when a police Hilux hit a horse at 120 - twisted the steel bullbar up like a pretzel (forced it pretty much straight through the block), peeled the roof back like a tin of tuna.
Glad to hear you're ok.
