Safety Camera or Speed - Who's at fault?

[Heath24]

Accident today on A3 just after Esher heading into town.
Caused a jam as you would expect. When I got to the area of the accident, it was at the site of a Safety camera.

Skid marks were through the markings for the camera, and one of the cars had been shunted front and rear.

This was where the A3 goes from 3 to 2 lanes, from 70 mph to 50mph speed limit.

Question 1
Did the accident happen due to someone speeding and seeing the camera, and hitting the brakes hard causing the following car to hit it???

Qestion 2.

Did as sometimes happens, driver saw the camera/markings and automatically hit the brakes whether they were speeding or not causing said accident???

Question 3

Would the accident have happened if the safety camera had not been there???


answers on a postcard...........

PS
(BIB were checking the camera for photographic evidence)
