I had a very nasty incident happen right in front of me this arvo . I turned onto Main north Road at Gulnare to head north and topped the hill to see 3 vehicles coming at me . The lead (LR Dico) veered to my side of the road then swung back to there side into the gravel and just went troppo straight across the road in front of me jumped the low edge of the road and head first into a stobey pole with the back wheels in the air the roof hit the pole and knocked it down , the LR ended up on the other side with pole on the ground . The driver was ok shaken and a few glass cuts will his wife was trapped , I did hear she was air lifted to Adelaide with a broken leg and possible internal injures . I was told that he had dozed off , this was about 4pm and the sun was shining on his side window . I would suspect that they were caravanners from the gear in the back and had been out for a day trip . they were certainly tourists from interstate .
Please if you feel a bit sleepy stop and have a walk around or find a nice spot and have a short sleep 10 or 15 minutes makes a big difference .
Travelling still Always will
