Sharp Deviation signs damaged from crash
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7199785.
Specialist Traffic Police attended Exit slip for serious collision involving 1 vehicle losing control on this off-slip (believed medical episode- driver sustained compound fracture to leg). Deviation sign is now damaged. Vehicle went into the adjacent residential garden, hitting substantial tree which luckily prevented vehicle from going through and into house. Numerous reported crashes at this location. There is NO PROPER protection on this off-slip and it is considered now essential to implement a small crash barrier to protect both motorists AND occupants of the house (Thorpe Ley) from serious injury. Can this be assessed.
This report is now closed to updates from the public. You can make a new report in the same location.
