An oblique right without any warning. I'm told the CHP call it "Suicide Curve."

Unfortunately that's what can happen when you don't know the road.

Extremely lucky no bad injuries.

That's a good point.

I don't know how there were no significant injuries.

Yes, it is my car. No markings/signs coming up to a right angle turn. Would have made it but ran up on a berm on the other side of the road that rolled the car.

It held up fine, although I suffered a pretty good concussion and required stitches. My wife has told me the next one needs dual roll bars (she has a head full of staples). I was Life Flighted to Reno thinking I had a brain bleed. We were cleaned up and released that night. Lucky isn't a strong enough description!

I'm glad you're ok. Yes, next one gets dual roll bars. Padded too.:cool:

Thank you Phil for the explanation. Sorry (All kidding aside) to hear it's your car. But thing's could have been a hellva lot worse (Cars can be fixed, people sometime not as much :)) . After yours & Dannr55 incidents last year, I'm starting to think a roll bar - roll bars, are the way to go in my 427 Street car, the 289 Slabside already have one. Best Wishes on both of you & and the Cobras speedy recovery Cheers Tom.

Phil - I don't know you personally, but I'm very happy that you and your wife are now both OK.

And then attention turns to the car .... is it car repairable? .... insured adequately? .... and is the engine OK, or too early to tell? I noticed that the oil pan took a hit.

Again, best wishes for a full recovery in all respects.

Cheers from Australia,
Glen

Well, I wish you had been wearing a GoPro.:cool:

Phil, so glad to hear you and your wife weren't severely injured. I always hate to hear when one of our cars are involved in an accident. I hope you both heal quickly.
