Know it well. From Stourbridge - downhill to a tightening left hander - that's always tighter than you remember.
There, but for the grace of God.....

It wasn't the 'Forester's bend' but almost outside the Rugby club where the road is not quite as straight as it looks

There is a slight left (Stourbridge approach) with sometimes tricky off camber undulations

He was found 'near the car' by passers by

R reg blue

I went past the tree yesterday which has flowers all over it now

Driven that road literally thousands of times

Very difficult reading it when i saw it in the paper, like you i drive that road every day.

From what i know (relative is in fire service that attended), it was a terrible impact.

He was going towards the rugby club at half 12 in sub zero conditions and went backwards into the tree (again from what i know). Perhaps the back end went light due to the change in camber and conditions, i don't know.

RIP anyway mate.
