Fatal accident near Barnsley
Just heard on the news that the driver of a Subaru has been killed in an accident on the A628 near Barnsley. :(
Sad at any time, but hope it's no-one on here. |
|
Thats terrible, i wonder what happened?
|
Thats woodhead pass - a fast road :(
|
Its nowhere near Woodhead Pass, Brierley is between Barnsley and Hemsworth, mostly a 30mph area.
|
That's why the road was closed this morning then! It's the road with the camera on leading up to the Three Horseshoes. Just around the corner from me :( Quite a bad blind junction on that road just before it joins the Hemsworth bypass :(
|
Bad news and my condolences for all concerned.
But why do the media feel the need to specify "...driving a Subaru..."? You never hear "...driving a Ford..." Demonising a brand in my eyes. |

That's the road that was closed this morning anyway, I had to do a detour via Willowgarth to get to work.
Wonder which car it was, i've probably seen it around. |
Looks like they actually hit the base of the speed camera too.
Just found a few pictures on the Internet. https://farm2.static.flickr.com/1184...d9c01a.jpg?v=0 https://farm2.static.flickr.com/1038...b66db1.jpg?v=0 https://farm2.static.flickr.com/1027...6ad87f.jpg?v=0 Looks to be a legacy estate to me :wonder: Surprised they mentioned the make, it made me instantly assume it was an Impreza and gave me a different impression about the accident. |
Looking at those pics it makes you wonder how they managed to have an accident there, its nowhere near the junction! Overtaking by the camera maybe?
|
Slowing down for the speed camera - who knows?
