    Op hasn't logged in all day, so I can't imagine we'll hear any more from him.

    If we do, could I ask him to identify the force and the road in question, and what contact he has had with the police since.

    It happened in the west midlands force area but if the was the cmpg officers from three forces could be involved.

    He posted quick then. I would have thought it was last month. I can't believe nothing has made the news

    Assuming this is all true....and
    Assuming the OP followed the first advice given and went to some professionals

    and that the OP was in hospital waiting to go home its not surprising he hasn't been back....

    The fact nothing was on the news does seem to indicate that the 1st assumption might be incorrect :D

    but if he got home, has to sort out his life and has contacted some legal professionals then it's not really surprising that updating this thread is not his 1st priority....

    Head on collision when the police are pursuing a vehicle the wrong way down a dual carriageway doesn't even get a mention on the local news. Don't you find that unusual?

    Mind you, it's probably happened to a friend or brother of yours.

    Yep... I find it unusual....
    However, I also believe in giving people the benefit of the doubt if they come asking for advice...

    Mind you, it's probably happened to a friend or brother of yours.

    Nope, never known anyone it's happened to thankfully.
    Despite the media loving to jump in on this sort of thing it's a pretty rare occurrence.
