Caravan saved car and occupants

[JeremyClarksson]

On Newsround tonight there was a picture of a car and caravan on a high bridge in NZ?

The car had gone through the barrier and was only stopped from falling by the towbar as the caravan became stuck in the railings.

I have tried to find a link to post but have not found one yet.

The accident occured in Queensland, Australia and it is likely that the car was held in place by the legally required safety chain. (chain must be made of minimum 8mm material) Breakaway cables are not legal in either Aussie or NZ.

Just realised there is a link to this item on Martins posting under the General forum, "How Lucky".

I found that last night, wondered how many people would cringe when they saw it, my wife hates bridges so that little incident would of completely freaked her out.
