No good with naming Aston Martins, but this came up on my twitter feed. Seems to be from the first person following it.

:O is that dual carriageway? If so how did the van end up facing the wrong way?

just thinking the same thing, looking at the damage, how the hell did that happen?

Is indeed a dual carriage way.

Its the stretch from Bisham Roundabout up to the Marlow turn off, going northbound to Wycombe.

Its just down the road from where that black Ferrari 458 crashed a couple of years ago.

Loos to me like the van rear ended a stationary, or slow moving Aston. Whoops. frown

It's a V8 Vantage in that pic. Very odd positions for the 3 cars - really curious to know what the crash was like for them to have ended up like that.

Odd position though, how is the van facing the wrong way.....

Front near side of the van, rear off side of the Aston. Has he just driven into it? Or is there more to it than that?

came past this on the oppo carriageway literally just after it happened, looked nasty. spoke to a friend to tell him to avoid the area but coincedentally he had driven past about 30 mins before and saw the aston broken down with a woman standing near by on the phone to police/breakdown possibly. so i assume either the vans got boxed in by someone or wasnt paying enough attention, smashed in2 the back of the stationary aston and the KA followed, think everone was ok though

Lack of concentration on the van driver's part probably.

Top lurking by the way!

Hope the drivers are ok.

With the box section on the left, it implies this was either just after the Quarry Road flyover or the Thames. Seems odd to think of cars being stationary there. Wonder if one car pulled out infront of the other?

Although the concentraion of debris seems to suggest it happened over a very short length of road.

My Guess based on the the facts present...

Aston broken down as stated.

Van driving along slow lane not paying enough attention, see Aston at last minute, too late to avoid a collision, swerves to avoid, cannot move enough due to blue car along side.

Van hits Aston! Blue car avoids Van and ends up on central barrier. (look closely it;s over way too far to be simply parked)

who's to blame?

Local Authority for not provided any run off or hard shoulder. (Red Tape)
Van driver for being a typical white van man (hehe)
Aston Martin for building cars with expected niggles (Tongue in cheek here)

The skidmarks and position of the vehicles seem to match what other people have said, stationary or very slow moving aston - van ploughs into the back and spins/rolls. Hope everyone was OK

The Aston was stationary in lane one when I went past at around 12:00.

It was only a matter of time before this happened.
