However it happened, whoever caused it, I hope everybody is unscathed.
Instead of badly pretending to be so a lovely, kind, compassionate person, try reading the article.
Someone has seriously injured their wrist.
Was that a serious life threatening injury to their wrist?
Yet more spite and resentment? That’s an update, wasn’t on the original piece when I commented. You really don’t like compassionate people, do you?
I’m with you Karen, let’s hope all are well. But it also occurred to me that I’ve never heard of anyone actually being scathed.
Ha! Slightly archaic English but still in use!
Pain is the natural way to teach the stupid. Let’s hope it is the driver at fault who has the bad hand. Always horrid for the innocence, but air bags and seat belts have made the foolish feel ever more invincible.
Why is it always stupid v innocent? Why not someone sneezed, or arthritic pain when turning the wheel? Why do some people ALWAYS finger point first and come instantly down on a moral judgement? To make themselves feel superior within their mediocre existences perhaps? Why do some always looks for cause instead of ‘who’s hurt’?
Let me guess the elderly driver forgot to brake
You are a complete muppet. Is that the only phrase you ever learnt at school?
My teacher was a old fart who didn’t have a clue like most old farts these days
So you did go to school then, and incredibly, with only one teacher throughout. Clearly wasn’t an English teacher.
It’s like destruction derby here at the moment!
Death Race 2000
Classic Audi, they always have issues sticking to their side of the road, especially on blind bends (Yes, I can see the renault is on the wrong side, but Audi drivers are notorious)
Head on crash obviously means 1 Numpty was driving
on the wrong side of the road
Simple.
Slow down F.F.S
20 is plenty, time for IW Council to implement strict rules on
Island Roads
Cowboy builder when you going to fix my roof
No thanks… You don’t punish the masses because a few idiots can’t drive!!
20!? Might as well walk. If you cant drive faster than 20 mph, get the bus
Total rubbish need to retest these stupid drivers that’s all ,and stay on your side of the road it’s not hard is it and bloody indicate where you are going
Head on, someone overtaking or not paying attention? Medical episode perhaps? Strange RTC that one
More idiots will be along soon…
Father of the year your daughter great by the way
Everyone speeds down that road, the entire stretch is 30mph from bouldnor to past the Yarmouth Bridge, the damage caused seems to be from a much faster collision. I’d assume the crash was caused by overtaking of a car going the speed limit or a parked car blocking traffic?
