A newer model VW Jetta (?), overturned in a ditch near Balfour, high speed, crossed lane, lucky no-one was killed. Circumstances and accounts vary, but it's been there a month and a half, and the facebook "explanations" seem to suggest that somebody shouldn't have been driving, didn't remain at the scene of an accident, and is now trying to claim his/her vehicle was stolen.
Then, a few weeks ago another, the same, a truck thrown up an embankment, slowly slipping down, there two weeks again...
Which inspires me, they should have an official Nelson-to-Balfour Drunk Drive Rally, sponsored by a local liquor store and the auto wreckers, every participant must drink a Mickey then get to Balfour as quick as they can, the winner gets a $1000 prize...you could close the highway just for this, everyone would attend, it would be like the local version of Formula 51 or Grand Prix...
