Cruise Accident

[Madaz]

interesting to find her on NS.com anyways i made a post there too

[yazS13]

hi, this is Yazmyn i am the passenger and owner of the festiva that tony was driving on the day of the crash. as i have stated on ns.com i am very sorry to hear of the pain and suffering to all who were involved. id like to thank to people who came to try calm me down although i cant remember you.

in reply to one previous post - i am not blaming the skylines in any way, i understand and believe as mos hopefully do that although tony was the driver of the ultimate catalyst for the crash that the accident was simply that - a terrible terible accident.

tony was always a very concious safe driver and as mentioned on this board i was in a pervious accident 6 weeks prior and still recovering from my injuries. As well as being a concious driver tony was also a motoring enthuisiast owning a s13 nissan skyline Q, which he was in the process of repairing (new body kit, repainting etc).

thank you all for your well wishes and support.

Drew - i hope that you are fully recovered, if not close to. i will be suffering from my injuries for a long time into the future - i hope that you will not suffer the same. i am so sorry that your car got ruined i'd offer to help fix it (cash etc) but im a fulltime student (well i was, i cant do my year 12 til next year now) so i dont have any money, and i understand how much of an inconvience it is to have lost a car as my car (with out insurance as im only on my l's and didnt think id be in a serious accident) was written off too and it will not be replaced by insurance unless i sue tony which i would never. so yeah im so sorry for you to had to of gone through this.

to the person who said its harder to lose a child than a partner - its all relative, although his family is grieving and in pain i have never lost a child so this is the worst pain i have ever felt. comparing our grief is like comparing apples and oranges.

and someone mentioned something about a "festiva cruise" lol this made me laugh - i would never go for a cruise in my pathetic festiva, it is very freaky that two festivas were in a row like that.

My next car which i will be saving up for if i can find a job over the next 6 months before i have to go back to school will probably be an imported sports model car - its is amazing to think how different the injuries to myself and drew were (and more so tony and drew), i will never drive a ford again thats for sure. all though i sort of have a grudge against skylines because of the crash i will most likely be buying one or similar in the future and in no way blame anyone or the cars for what happened.

my email is [email protected], email me if u want pix or want to know anything else.

Thanks again,

Yazmyn

so why are they blaming u? if he was driving i dont understand. are they blaming u simply out of frustration or what?

i think thats the sad part, although they may be greiving, they cant go around blaming everyone. yes i havnt been in such grief as this, and it will be a long time if ever that i will, but to do this to someone who also seemed to love their son so much is a bit sad IMO.

it is a very difficult situation. they are blaming me because they hated me. his mother and sister had a huge fight with me and tony earlier this year (his sister beat me up) and so tony moved in with my family. he had been living with us for 5 months and his family blamed me for this although it was purely tony's choice. there has also been a lot of other incidents and bad blood before and after tonys death with these people which i do no wish to bring up on the internet - its just disrespectful.

(i just reread my message "because they hated me" it would sound juevenile if it wasnt the truth).

all in all they are threatening to take me to court and stuff like this and stuff happened at tonys funeral which i coodnt attend due to being in hospital - not being able to get out of bed or walk.

thanks for trying to understand though mate.

Be strong Yaz. You seem to be doing well for someone who has been through such an ordeal. I would not be able to do better.

Take care.

Jon

ps: Maybe you should not worry about getting the next car but concentrate on completing your yr 12. Get over that hurdle and you will be almost there.

[nisskid]

oh k, yeh that makes more sense. ^^couldnt have said it any better, good luck with it all, im currently studying year 12 aswell, i know what its like to juggle alot of things during this important year, but obviously nowhere near as much as what ur faced with.

[Madaz]

thankx for comming and shareing with us Yazmyn is good to hear your slowly recovering, Drew will be recovering for a few years also

as you could imagine you dont recover from a head on impact of 200KPH in 6 weeks, i still believe God had his hand over us i will never know why Tony never made it though

Hello Yasmine, I'm very sorry to hear the ordeal that has been your life for a while now & I am saddend that Tony's parents are trying to pin this incident on you. I hope every thing works out for you with your study & recovery etc.

I am unsure if you have read right through these pages, but it was noted a little while back the real reason for the accident & it came down to to that road being designed with that middle lane being allowed to be used for cars travelling both directions.

It was also noted that there was a knee jerk reaction to this crash by the road authorities which then altered the design so that the middle lane was only allowed to be used in one direction.

Both parties have every reason to believe they were totally in the right to be using that lane, which unfortunately was a recipie for disaster.

If Tony's parents (or yourself for that matter) want someone to blame they should be looking squarely at the road authorites for allowing such a stupid road design to be produced in the first place as this is what caused the accident.

Yazmyn

All the best wishes to you Yazmyn,

just try to heal now...... your body is your 'vehicle' throughout your whole life, so rest and heal for the moment. tafe could be a good option to study in, take your time doing a decent course.

always remember; some things are just meant to be. deal with what you can and forget the rest; and most importantly, look after yourself.

[chops]

Yazmyn,

Best wishes for a recovery from both your physical and emotional injuries. An event such as this will always have a very large impact on a persons life, and it is the way we deal with these things that defines us as people.

[HOSTILE]

Yazmyn, I too was there that day. I am sorry for your loss and glad to see that you are recovering. As the others have said please concentrate on getting back on your feet emotionally and physically.... I hope that in time tonys family will see the truth that it was just a tragic accident and that you and the rest of us on that road are not to blame. Have faith in the fact that you/us could not prevent this..... time will dull the pain but we will never forget.

hey guys, havnt been on here in a while but i thougt i would check to see whether all parties involved in the crash were ok and im glad to heat that they are and are going to be fine. i read something bout a bbq and that sounds like a great idea, hope it goes ahead so we can all catch up.

[prof_dls]

Hi Yazman and all fellow skyliners,

Thankyou for your kind words and concern. I am still at home recovering but feeling a lot better.

Unfortunately it will be some years before im fully recovered and able to get my life back to how it was. Currently my brain injury limits me from driving, drinking, playing sport and doing anything where I could get a knock to the head. I also have lost a lot from my mental stamina, short term memory and ability to think and concentrate on multiple things.

I have a medical review at the end of this month to hopefully get my drivers license back. I am also hoping to get back to my work at Flinders uni in the near future. I have bought a new car but it isnt a skyline . I bought a subaru imprezza RS off my neighbour who runs a car yard. He offered me an excellent deal in light of the events of the past months.

I am very sorry for your loss of your boyfriend Tony in the accident. I wish you all the best for your recovery and return to study. I also hope that the issues that tonys family have with you can be resolved with time.

I wish all those involved in the accident a speedy recovery.

Drew

hey hey

Well this is an old topic i cant believe it is still up!

well its almost been a year in a few months so who reckons its a good idea to have another cruise on the same day (21 of may)?........or maybe a bad idea? maybe the day after or something.

Maybe even a BBQ after?

How have u been Drew?

After the crash i started talking to Yazmyn heaps! we became mad as friends!

well let me know cheers

[Madaz]

i think its a good idea and have been mulling over the idea of a memorial cruise just havnt said too much about it

[Pauly33GTS-t]

My regards to all those involved, hope they are all ok now and a big message of condolences to the family of the deceased driver.
