Some jobs just continue to surprise. Last night was certainly no different.

The first job of the night began as a car rollover at a major intersection and ended up being a remarkable piece of luck.

Husband and wife were heading over to their son’s home for tea when the husband feels himself passing out. As he blacks out his foot hits the accelerator. The car launches from the lights and the wife grabs the steering wheel from the passenger seat.

She manages to dodge and weave her way across the intersection. The car heads down a small embankment, onto the wrong side of the road, up the gutter and down the footpath. She remembers looking for something hard to hit but not too hard. She picks out a large signpost and her car strikes it hard. The car is stopped.

For her troubles she breaks her right arm, a small price to pay for being able to hang on to the steering wheel. Her husband has some discomfort from the seat belt.

A lucky escape indeed.
