Saw this when I was in the gym earlier but as there was no sound didn't know what had happened. Looks like a chassis

Agreed on the speed thing, cars hit trees and cave in, but it doesnt split into 3 separate parts

tbh when their has been 59 accidents on that stretch int he last 3yrs then some other type of method of slowing cars down should be used other than a money making speed camera.

problem is, that road is fucking miles and miles long. a accident can be a simple shunt at the many many sets of lights.
just so happens these ppl hit something very immovable at daft speed.
the sign make the road sound really really bad.
it isn't

Dad said the Police are blaming a big pothole for causing the car to lose control.

looking at the nice big pic in the paper the front tyres are hammerd anyway.
drivers is down to the bars. continental sportcontact i think looking at the pattern
and the passengers tyre looks like a cheapy off road remould effort.
i reckon too much speed not enough skill.
do feed bad for the family's etc they left behind.

yea, i was driving to work that way as the normal route was closed for line marking ...
and although i couldnt see much from where the road was blocked, i could see the yellow tent and knew someone was dead. Was later before i found out what it all was.
That pothole was deep! I usually forgot to miss it especially at night and at 40 it shook my car! i do think that drink/fatigue was involved too, and there was a hell of alot of standing water on the road at 9 when i was goin to work, so i reckon there was some aquaplaning involved too.
I spotted the tyres looked crap in the paper when i saw the pic this morn...and that was my immediate deduction.
