This is not a good junction and at that time of day the sun would have been in the car driver’s eyes. I cannot for the life of me understand why use is not made of more mini-roundabouts with speed bumps at junctions like this.
I do hope everyone is OK.
Perfectly fine junction. People just need to pay more attention; thats all!
Looks like police may have tried to beat the bike.
I came pass this accident this morning. I hope all involved are ok.
right outside the factory!
It is amazing how many accidents the police have had on that road over the years!
Sure looks easy to see which car was at fault
both brand new spankys too
Very rare to see a police car having ventured out of that station car park. Every time I drive passed they are all parked up!? Glad all involved are ok. It is not a great junction, but sun in eyes is not an excuse. You can only manoeuvre at a junction when you know the path is clear, dangerous to just wing it.
Thiis is why all repeat all emergency vehicle should have Dash Cameras to assist in any investigation or to record any road incident
So true, but you can have one as well, just in case.
Please don’t make excuses for the cop. They are not the best drivers.
Bob from boston I hope the little boy will be ok and the lady driving gets well soon take care Bob keough
