Sorry I didn't get to update earlier but I've been flat out getting Tom & Carmel back on the road for their drive back to Qld.
Peter rang me from the Lameroo hospital around 6 pm saying they were going to put him out on the street, we were back at the house by 10pm so the 320km round trip wasn't too bad a run as most of it is 110km/h road... but maybe the word highway is over stating it a tad. That stretch from Lameroo to Tailem Bend takes quite a few out, doesn't take much of a laps in concentration and the road heads off without you, none of that banked cornering that indicates which way the road is going so it really does put a strain on the driver.
Peter is fine, a good size bruise down the left wrist and back of the hand but it's tied on to his elbow with a wrap up bandage so it shouldn't fall off.
Looking at the photos on Peter's phone I'd say that both vehicles are a right off, the 5ér interior looks like a fruit salad, the axles are ripped from their mounts, cracked fibreglass panels front and back, the Ranger appears to be bent in the middle judging by the fold above the rear wheels, so I guess the tree stopping the front suddenly resulted in the 5ér folding the back end up as it tried to stop in a hurry.

Wow, sounds as though Peter was indeed lucky to get away with minor injuries.

Peter, so glad that your time wasn't up just yet. Please take this as a warning and drive only short distances if you don't feel fully awake.
Lots of luck getting as much as you can from your insurance company.

Just caught up with this thread, blimey Peter you just have to stop looking at those bush pigs on the sides of the roads. At least you get to look another day:)
