M&C Jamie:
Hi wheelnut , the bridge in yugo that you mention, was what we called the iron bridge.
Taffy had left the shell garage at Gefgelljia one night after a few drinks and an argument. on approaching the iron bridge he skidded on the left hand bend and hit the rock face with the front nearside of the unit this then bounced the truck back across the road where it mounted the side of the iron bridge and then toppled off on to the carriegewayof the bridge. Taffy had been thrown across the cab after the first impact, so was in the passenger footwell when they found him. He had two broken legs and multiple injuries but survived.
The truck and trailer lay at the side of the road where they had towed it off the bridge for a number of weeks.
Whilst Taffy was convalescing he was in the same hospital as his old road foreman Gordon Crisp, he also had had a nasty accident in Belgium where he rolled his truck down the bank at the Zeebrugge/Ostende junction and was in a coma for three weeks.
