rust related accidents?

[mk3tina]

just wondering if anyone has experienced or seen a rust related accident in their car. what i mean is, your driving along, and then your strut top goes through or a spring mounting point goes and the car comes crashing into the asphalt. i hope nobody has experienced it, however i got thinking about it today, and the repairs ive had to do in the past and what could have happened.

Yes cortina Mk4, rear axle pulled out the chassis and locked the hand brake on, had to reverse 4 miles home

my old anglia popped the rear spring hanger through the floor, needless to say it went slightly out of shape

Not an OSF, but I had an M reg 5 door Nissan sunny a couple of years ago.. They rot around the rear strut tops, one day I drove over one of Blackpools many speed bumps and back end dropped a bit, looked in rear view mirror and couldn't see out of back for the parcel shelf

 

Carried on using it til tax run out to take my mates KX65 to where we go on it Then broke it for banger spares
