heard this on the radio, the Police commisioner advised motorists heading the opposite direction "Not to look at it" as it was slowing the flow of the traffic right down.
'Yeh right!' I thought - how are motorists going resist the urge to have a gawk!

According to the report last night, the VT suddenly lost control for an unknown reason. Driver probably realised he was in a Holden and paniced.
(I apologise to the drivers who were injured in the crash for my bad taste joke)

lol. Thats entirely possible.
Was it wet? I saw a P plater put his foot down in a VN in the soking wet today and go sideways a bit. Some people underestimate what water can do to a road surface.

or the commo hydroplaned on top of the water. I assume that can happen in the right conditions there.
