    Thank God you are OK!

    I think I witnessed this. I was driving the inside lane probably 600-700 meters behind you. It happened about half way between the Topaz and the M1 roundabout.

    What I thought I had first seen was a plastic bin bag being blown in a breeze after a car.
    Then about 3-5 cars in the traffic pulled into the hard shoulder, and a number of people got out.
    By the time I reached the site of the accident I could see you lying on the ground, trying to sit up, with blood running down your face.

    I could see that whatever had happened was serious, but I didnt see exactly what happened.
    I pulled in about 100 meters after where you were lying on the ground and called an ambulance. Once I had finished calling the ambulance I continued to work.


    I am very very happy that you are in one piece.

    Thanks for that, and particular thanks for calling the ambulance. I know the accident happened at 7.22, and I was at the Beaumont by 7.54 (someone put the Garmin in my bag for me, and so I have been able to track every second of the journey), and so I am very impressed with the ambulance service. I cannot remember anything from about an hour before until a couple of hours after the accident, so any information is helpful (I do already have contact details of one person who helped). Nice to know I looked like a "plastic bin bag being blown in a breeze":)
