Follow up to meeting with cow.

The same night were returning home we passed another accident a few kilometres down the road. The police and ambulaces were there so we did not stop. At out accident people stopped and called the police for us. Our car was standing in the middle of the road with lights and hazards on. The dead cow was about 50 metres behind us, also in the middle of the road. From a distance we could hear a speeding car with lights flashing and sirens wailing. We tried to slow him down but he sped past at about 150kph and ran straight into the cow, up and over onto another car standing at the side! I don't know if they had Fords or airbags but they were surely in a worse predicament then we were. And the poor guy sitting alongside the road, having nothing to do with anything gets his car crashed. All he was doing was waiting on everyone going so he could cut up the cow and go home with it! It's tough in Africa
