I was presuming that -pixie was referring to the one at the Town end of Hyndburn Road but I didn't see anything going on earlier.

Re: Crash at the roundabout
 

is that one you go (around) down town near the viaduct:D

Re: Crash at the roundabout
 

Thats what I am reckoning;think Pixie works in town near me and would have been on her way home about then.

Re: Crash at the roundabout
 

Maybe it is just me but I always class Whitebirke as "The big roundabout"

Re: Crash at the roundabout
 

she means accy roundabout near the margram

people had to be cut out of their cars and quite a lot of police cars and ambulances were on the scene for about 1 hour

my theorys so far

a: boy racer been a pratt

b: old racer who thinks hes a boy racer and needs to grow up been a pratt

c: woman driver ( ducks for cover)

and the most likely favorite

d: A TAXI

as i live near that roundabout i see many near misses on it and there is always some pratt speeding or using the roundabout incorrectly as anyone can tell by all the smashed in railings that always appear or if hit hard enough dissapear

i feel sorry for those who drive sensibly and get hit by these wan**rs as its usualy the person who is not at fault who gets the wrost of it

Re: Crash at the roundabout
 

What makes you say it was a women driver, hope you are still ducking for cover lol.

Drove past it earlier on and it looked like two men, but what i couldn't understand was that the car was facing the wrong way. Don't know what happened though.

Re: Crash at the roundabout
 

the car was probably the wrong way because it may have spun around when it was hit

the woman driver comment was a joke we all know you women can drive better than men because you tell us constantly lol

Re: Crash at the roundabout
 

Promise it wasnt me LOL:signntme:

Re: Crash at the roundabout
 

Sorry I should have been more specific, but when you don't drive and live and work in Accy, then the one by the viaduct IS the big roundabout.:D

Re: Crash at the roundabout
 

or maybe driver on mobile phone spots member of public taking car reg down to report to police do they.
A... swerve to hit memeber of public
B... swerve in a state of shock they may be caught by police

Re: Crash at the roundabout
 

Of course we are better at driving then you men.

Re: Crash at the roundabout

Re: Crash at the roundabout

Re: Crash at the roundabout
 

i am glad i dont drive, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Re: Crash at the roundabout
 

nearly was one earlier today i was coming round it in the inside lane and some old guy in a big white car came off the garage on to it along side of me,then as we got round to the eastgate exit cut right across me without indicating,i never swore honest.

Re: Crash at the roundabout
 

People are always doing that on the roundabout Cashman. I see it on a daily basis. Basically a lot of people don't know how to use roundabouts. It is equally bad at the roundabout near Clayton business park as you come off the M65. Idiots in the left lane when they're turning right and vice versa.

Re: Crash at the roundabout
 

It would help on a lot of roundabouts if they put some indication which lane is for where

Re: Crash at the roundabout
 

most roundabouts are un needed a simple give way system or traffic light would do especialy in the case of mini roundabouts tehy are pointless
