Floyd is great today

Bouncing around like the happy, energetic pooch he is.

I am supposed to keep him quiet, LOLZ, yeah, sure. Good luck with that.

You know how I really dislike driving down to the Gold Coast? I call the road "4 Lanes of Terror"?

This is why.

M1 shut after horror smash
April 9th, 2009

A FAMILY of four heading off on an Easter trip were last night in hospital, the victims of a four-car smash on the M1 involving 10 people.

In what was a horror start to the Easter holidays, five people were rushed to Gold Coast and Robina hospitals after the crash near Exit 69 at Nerang at 9.20pm.

The crash shut all four north-bound lanes, causing traffic to bank up to at least Robina.

It is understood the high-speed smash happened when one of the vehicles ploughed three cars into the highway concrete barriers and off the road.

The family's car ended up in a ditch off the highway, while the 46-year-old driver of another car was trapped in his vehicle, which is believed to have rolled five times.

He was treated in the car by paramedics and then rushed to Gold Coast Hospital in a semi-conscious state. He was not believed to have life-threatening injuries.

The family were also understood to have non life-threatening injuries.

NOTE: I've been having a little trouble with the blog, things slow and timing out. I had to try three separate attempts to get the car accident pix up.
