Well here goes - guess I must be careful relating this story as I have it third hand
I was told by a reliable source that Laurie was alone and crossed the car up going onto or down a freeway ramp. It appears he may have kept the foot in and it went around into a pole on the freeway road edge backwards.
It gets worse because the pole apparently came down onto the rolebar edge and crashed down through the middle of the car
Again I am careful as this has come third hand.
Possibly someone in Victoria can confirm this or correct the story. Sounds really sh... though.
Cheers
