A Full load of pensioners and No critical injuries.

Is it just me or is the name of that location highly appropriate?

Rest and change trousers might be a better choice in this instance.
Still, good news nobody died.

I know that place quite well - I go past it every time I go up to the highlands. the Rest and be Thankful is kind of 'last supermarket and petrol station before the highlands' kind of place. In fact I think I know pretty much exactly where that's happened. It's kind of south of Glencoe, you're driving across the bottom of a glacial valley and there's no walls or kerbs to speak of, it's just two lanes of tarmac raised out of the turf. It's REALLY exposed and if you're in a high sided vehicle like a coach, a decent enough gust would have you off the road.

It's a fair way from anywhere mind. Like maybe half an hours drive from Glencoe and more than that from anywhere south of it bigger than a hamlet.
