    How unlucky can you get, Hit by a car, stop to exchange details and get hit again. The story seems a bit sketchy at the moment because of the van taking the bike away. Strange one.

    To compound Mr Coates luck, not that it sounds as if it would have saved his life, he could not be flown to the nearest hospital because of the snow stopping the helicopter from landing.

    Seems a very weird story. Why
    Seems a very weird story. Why would you exchange details in the middle of the road? And how did the other guy avoid being hit?
