I hope it was not as bad as it looked

I also hope it was no one from the forum either that had a bit of a mishap on the freeway tonight.A white 80 series towing a blueish ali boat about 6.2 long flipped the trailer near hodges drive.Looked a bit messy but dont think anyone would have been injured except maybe a dented pride and a few scrapes on the starboard side.

I saw it too
On the way out to an appointment it was on its side and on the way back they had it on a truck. It was a Genesis boat very similar to mine but looked to be only a 5.5m vessel though I could be wrong.
Looked like they might have rolled on the on ramp from Shenton heading South.

i only saw it on the side.
It looked like they had gone from the north side across the median strip and hit the bank on the south side.Did it look like much damage?
