Llamas Avoid Car Crash (Photo Gallery)

Monday, 21st December, 2009 at 12:47 pm, Isle of Wight

News, Photography, Roads, South Wight

The Llamas who live on the Military Road had a big shock last week, when a van and a car joined them in their grazing field.

Lamas Avoid Car CrashIt’s understood that as the van went to overtake the car, the driver of the car decided to turn right – ironically as they wanted to have a closer look at the Llamas.

This led to the van and the car veering across to the right side of the road, mounting the grass and smashing the fence down.

The Llamas in the field scattered, but luckily avoided major harm, with only one of them ending up with a slight limp to be treated.

Destruction of the fence was complete with its wooden posts fragmented and flung all over the field.

Fortunately no one in the vehicles were harmed.

    The one-L lama, he’s a priest
    The two-L llama, he’s a beast
    And I would bet a silk pyjama
    There isn’t any three-L lllama

    I understand the van ending up in the field, but the car as well?

    And the llama said, to no one in particular, mirror, signal, manoeuvre,

    or as sometimes happens.
    manoeuvre, signal, smashed mirror.

      Yes, car’s set of second skid-marks are visible in next to last photo (complete with what looked like their headlight reflector).

      For what it’s worth – the Institute of Advanced Motorist (IAM) advise that you shouldn’t overtake when there’s a potential turning that someone can take. There’s a road on the right just before the Lamas.
