Looks almost as crashworthy as a snatch Land Rover
Two men seriously injured after Army truck overturns near Dunblane https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-59263649 Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come 2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed! |

Looks like didn't slow down for roundabout at al, or mechanical failure.

Willing to bet brake failure - it's not the first time a truck has ploughed through that roundabout off the same road. There was an artic stuck there for weeks several years ago after barreling through it. Frankly amazing nobody was killed in either accident as it's a long steady downhill to the junction so you'd build up a fair amount of speed before realising you had no brakes. Really hope the guys make a full recovery. Sadly my mum saw a body lying on the ground as she passed moments after it happened.
Just hope some action comes of this as it's a horrendous roundabout. Just a few days ago there was another accident involving a bus... Stuart
