Hi All, My mate just rolled a current model patrol 4 times and hit a tree while doing 100 near Yark in Victoria. The vehicle was split in half and he survived with only a bump on the head. He fell asleep at the wheel at 10.00 at night. I have the photos and can send them to anyone if you put your e-mail adress in a reply. He is so so lucky to survive the accident. Both airbags went off and he didn't even get a scratch on his body. He is 6 foot 4 and a really solid guy. The front of the car was torn off at the firewall as you will see. His feet were not even sore. I reckon that this car would have to win a safety award for letting this guy survive the accidant. I will be looking at buying one for my family when upgrading in 2 years.

pity about the car was he a skier too or just a driver .
I have seen this car a few times b4.
I know plenty of people who drive hour to ski and leave it till the last minute to head home after skiing and get very tired taking big risks going home .
I would not like to see anyone get hurt
on the road (seen enough ) BUT THEY HAVE TO REALISE THAT THEY CAN ALSO HARM OR KILL OTHERS.

Glad to hear your mates OK but I hope he's learned his lesson about driving whilst tired. He should be thanking his lucky stars his tiredness didn't get anyone else hurt too. We got run off the road several years ago by a driver who fell asleep at the wheel and I tell you I thought we were dead! When you see accidents and head-ons on dead straight, nice wide roads and wonder how on earth it could happen 9 times out of 10 its a tired driver at fault.
