So turns out one broken eye socket and middle finger. Concussion and quite a lot of bruising but all things considered he dodged a bullet. We'd just done a switcheroo so I feel a bit bad, 30 secs earlier and it would have been me on the front.
So we are on a one way road doing abt 35kph and this utter fuckwit pulls off a side road without a care in the world. Lucky we were on bikes - his excuse was that he looked the wrong way - replace Condor with 10ton truck and that driver would be brown bread. Forks, top tube, head set, bars and front wheel took the lions share of the hit. Seb hit bonnet with right shoulder and windscreen with face and chest after a semi role before bouncing off on to road.
Popo were great at taking a statement but admitted that nothing much else would happen... Fucking great. Now have to wait for insurance.
Anyway good news is minor injuries bad news is fuckwits in the road.
Had A couple of drinks. Apologies if no sense.
