Loose road signs

Reported via desktop in the Abandoned Materials (NH) category anonymously at 12:12, Tue 14 November 2023

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5210016.

I was going along the stretch of the A34 at Botley southbound under the flyover where the roadworks are yesterday when one of your loose signs blew into the road, a lorry drove over it and it smashed into pieces, one part flew up over the top of my car and one of the other crashed into the front of my car and lodged into the grille causing me to have to pull over where it was safe to do so and pull the large piece of debris out of the front. My grille is broken and my sensor no longer work. Please make sure your signs are fixed, this could've turned out a lot worse than me just being shaken up and my car damaged.
