Not sure what the driver of the Corsa was thinking!

Isn't there usually a bit more signage than a couple of arrows on the road saying you probably shouldn't be going down that right hand road. There are some bare poles around for some signs.

Should probably be a no entry sign I would have thought . But wtf was the corsa driver doing ON THE CARRAIAGE WAY? surely lorry number 1 heading towards you would give you a big clue unless you were a complete imbecile

What the hell was he doing? I'm guessing he didn't survive that.

Why does there need to be signage, she had to drive onto the wrong side of the road to go down there anyway!

The aftermath.

He/She is very lucky the lorry only really clipped the Corsa, It's not in the state it could well have been.

Bah, I'd like to see a video of some light rain tbh

**** that looked nasty! WTF was the Corsa driver doing?

OT: Does anyone here have one of those Roadhawk things? They sound kinda cool for clearing yourself of any blame in an accident. Or can the Police demand to see the footage if they pull you for speeding/whatever and thus you'll wish you didn't have one?

Lucky to survive that, dont know what they were doing.

Hopefully the car driver got the smackdown from the law due to that.

Cement everywhere.

Unless the dozy bind was killed, the HGV driver's sharp reactions saved her life there...

eXist · 28 Mar 2011 at 19:08

if that was a mondeo or a bmw the driver would have been dead for sure!

good old corsas......

serisouly tho that was mental and the corsa driver should lose their license !

[Olly] · 28 Mar 2011 at 19:21

Ouch, that was a bit silly.

Begbie · 28 Mar 2011 at 20:45

Wild! Poor truck driver.

I had the misfortune to be driving on the A90 last Tuesday when that accident happened.

About 20 cars including me were stuck behind that for an hour. It was kind of surreal as everyone was out of their cars standing on the dual carriageway chatting.

I also had to stealthily urinate in a bottle with police walking around.

ZG002 · 28 Mar 2011 at 20:48

Yeah I remember being about 5 cars behind a multi car pile up which closed the A19. Everyone was ok but it was well blocked. Is very surreal standing about on the dual carriageway chatting etc.

Wouldn't it have been easier to wander up the bank and go behind a hedge?

If I've got stealth urination talents, why waste them?

Woah amazingly lucky + really stupid!
