Help with writing a statement for a crash i was in

sammyw84

Hi all sorry for the delay.

Ok i did look to the right as we entered the roundabout as i'm that sort of passenger (not anxious but very aware) there was no car anywhere near the roundabout coming from the right , the car i was in was already established on the roundabout and next thing we see are 2 head lights coming quickly towards us and .. bang they smashed into the drivers side rear quarter/door and spun us round.
there was no breaking by the other car. (the other car was an i10 we was in a focus and it wrote our car off)

If there was "no car anywhere near the roundabout coming from the right" where did this car come from? Presumably the driver was asked after the accident.

I havnt been in that type of acident myself; but spinning another car around would take some force/speed.

yes, he was asked but even the police officer who attended said she must have been going at speed due to the damage she has done to the car i was in and spun us round as she was only in a little car

Not neccessarily - if you catch it at the back it's more likely to spin.
