00:00Loaded Up With Goods To Sell

00:22I drove up the Pacific Highway

00:26Traveling sales and off to remote areas to sell

00:29my wares

00:31A station wagon full to the brim

00:35of things to sell

00:37No idea things would soon turn

00:41into a living hell

00:43I took the Pete's Ridge turn off

00:47and drove until I came

00:49Up behind a big

00:53semi-truck that slowed down my game

00:56I looked to overtake

00:59not seeing a T-Bar road sign

01:02The truck's right blinker

01:06was not working

01:06I thought things were fine

01:08The truck turned right

01:12as I drew level with his cab

01:14The driver had not seen me

01:19and hit my car in the side

01:21At the 20 to 20 kilometers

01:25an hour my station wagon

01:26started to slide

01:28I tried to regain control

01:31but bounced off wooden road post

01:34The car slid back across the road

01:38and jumped a big embankment

01:40Before hitting the tree head on

01:44Before hitting the tree head on

01:44and coming to a stop

01:46Every single panel on the car was bent

01:54The front wheels were at angles

01:57And one wobbled as it went

02:00I drove at eight kilometers per hour

02:15That was as fast as it would pace

02:17A hundred K's back to Sydney

02:21A hundred K's back to Sydney

02:21to get back to my boss's place

02:24He was not happy as his car was a wreck

02:30But thankful I was not killed

02:34and didn't break my neck

02:36The car slid back across the road

02:39The car slid back across the road

02:41And jumped a big embankment

02:43Before hitting the tree head on

02:47And coming to a stop

02:48Every single panel on the car was bent

02:56The front wheels were at angles

02:59And one wobbled as it went

03:02Another brush with death

03:05That I survived

03:07I was glad that I got the wind

03:11And was still alive

03:13I learned the hard way

03:16To give big trucks more respect

03:19And not take risks waiting for them

03:23To let you pass like you might expect

03:25And not take risks waiting for them

03:29To let you pass like you might expect

03:31I am alive

03:38I did survive
