1989 Roscoff ferry
Give us a clue then. How do manage to have such a massive crash on a ferry. Looks like the mezzanine fell on it.
Nasty but the driver was OK & Is now 89 years old, I was told that a lady car driver overtook another vehicle when she would have hit the Foden head on, Regards Larry.
This photo taken on the approach to the Minnie Bridge in the Fitzroy river flood plain south of Derby in West Oz 1982.
The driver was thrown through the windscreen onto the road he suffered a few scratches and bruising but managed to walk 7km barefooted to the the main bridge over the Fitzroy where i picked him up.

I think he was lucky that was a strong Swedish cab not some flimsy American or he might not have been so lucky
If you crash into a bridge instead of crossing it and your engine and gearbox finish up under the lead trailers axles and the cab gets thrown off the chassis luck will play a part whatever your driving if you survive.
