New Mustang crash, A21.

[Hrimfaxi]

Just past Badgers Mount, heading towards Bromley..

Brand new Mustang facing backwards at side of the road, stuck in trees. Front end caved in the rear not looking too healthy either - looked a nasty one...

Other cars were parked up to offer assistance, with no emergency vehicles at the scene yet. It must have just happened.

I hope it wasn't anyone on here? It looked like a stunner in bright red.

Also hope the occupants of it are well!

Yeah I did think that, someone has had a bad day...

Wasn't from the roundabout, my guess would be that they booted it and lost control due to it being pretty slippy.

Yeah, Hewitts roundabout, that's it.

Sounds like it's got a bit of a reputation then, just googled it to find a few incidents have taken place there.

Further down, where a side road (London Rd) joins onto the A21 is just as nuts. I've seen far too many near misses there to count.

Took the red demo out a couple of weeks ago, the BSM chap mentioned it was lively in the wet. Seemed a bit lax letting anyone loose in a 5 litre RWD with no questions on driving experience.

Ah damn, today was the result of that, coupled with the dodgy roundabout then..

I didn't know that was the original line of the A21, well it definitely hasn't calmed anything down around there.
As for lane discipline on Hewitts, I agree it's terrible. I've been carved up on the M25 exit there a couple of weeks ago.

That pinch point where it reduces to a single lane is trouble - you get people doing last second overtakes, or having spotted the car joining the A21 too late (Either because of speed, or as you say the poor visibility from that junction) swerves over to the right.

Infact, I even hate turning left into London Rd from the A21, especially when there's traffic. I've never trusted people not to realise that lane is for turning left only and not an overtaking opportunity. Coming to a standstill there is a nightmare.

Indeed, but I think you meant turning right. - https://goo.gl/maps/b3QBYSGebP92

Ah yes...
