This night they had a couple of beers and one thing led to another and a dare was put forward to drive down the main street. The challenge was on. Off they went. One bloke driving, one bloke "Surfing". Car was doing about 60Kph. Unfortunately a Police car saw them and turned on his light and siren. The driver panicked and accelerated hard, turning right at the next intersection. With nothing to hold onto, the surfer was thrown off the car and along the road at about 85Kph. The result was almost no flesh on the left hand side of his face, shoulder and thigh from where the road had scraped of his skin. He died before the ambo's could arrive.

I normally dislike car surfing stories, but as this dates so long ago and is a personal account, I'll vote to keep it. Thanks, MickeyD.

If this had taken place recently I would have voted it as being too common. But the time frame shows that this bloke was just ahead of his time. Thanks for the story, MickyD
