i think its mainly panel damage. there was no weird/clunking noises coming out of the car when it was stopped. the tow truck driver drove it straight onto the truck too.

the other bloke stopped. my dad showed up (cos i called him and told him to come get me) and said that one of the first things he noticed is that it looked as if the truck didnt even have the bar strapped down. we reckon he was just dropping it off around the corner.

and no, i didnt get to keep it could have made an awesome carport too!

No good man. In the last too days there have been so many accidents in canberra. Couple kids hit my cars aswell.

Are repairs comming out of your pocket? Or is the truck driver/company going to fork out some cash?

Ive been in something very similar to this, a peice of plywood came off the back of a truck and was spinning and landed flat on my windscreen. If it had spun and hit the window with the egde if may have gone through and killed me and the passenger.

Good thing is you come out of the situation relitivly unharmed.

Did police attend? If so are they processing the truck driver for the dropping of the load?

Mate, with those photos you could work for our Major Collision Unit.
