That'll buff right out...

[A.J.M]

Sunday night, walking Alfie after his busy and happy day of new friends and sausages, walking back down the hill towards the roundabout heading into Chapelhall. The road goes from a 60 to a 30 before you enter the roundabout, big signs up to say, as the 30 limit got extended down from further into Chapelhall.

Several car's pass as it's a busy road, then along comes a blue Clio...

Passes rather quickly, think to myself, "hmm, going a tad fast there" Blue clio doesn't show brake lights or noises of lifting off.... Enters the 30 limit still going about 50-60ish..

I then hear the unmistakable noise of tyre squeal.. see the car hit the left side kerb with the back left wheel, hard. Very hard! This sends the back into the air for a good 10ft, landing hard and veering right, said car disappears from view as theres a large sign in my car.

What is in the cars road is a dividing kerb and pavement, which it crosses, bumps up another kerb and crosses a pavement and climbs 15ft up a grassy embankment.. Job jobbed!

Continue walking down, to see Clio lying on the pavement, a van and a vectra parked up, with hazards on and the driver out ranting into his mobile. He tries to start the car, but the smashes up/down kerbs and embankments have triggered the fuel cut off.

Guy gets out and without a glance back, storms off into Chapelhall leaving the car, still ranting into his phone, from the tone he's rather upset with someone,

Police come, go looking for said guy as he seems to be causing some bother. 2 car's re appear, statements are taken and i take a few pictures to go on FB..

Here are said pictures.





Front bumper is a bit of a mess, both dash air bags blew, both passenger side bags blew, front tyre burst, back alloy is now "stanced" and it's missing a few under side parts.

Remember kids, drive safe.

That's pretty screwed. Just as well it was solid objects in his way and not other road users, since he was clearly not concentrating on the road.

Know that area well.

Have also imposed a 30mph at the Holytown end, have seen a couple of vehicles landing on top of the roundabout there, helped by the nice sloping side of it!

The slightly worrying thing is, a couple of minutes later, Alfie and i would have walked right past that spot heading into Chapelhall and home. Plenty of other people walk it and the road is busy.

It's fecked, likely a salvage spares or repairs effort.

I saw the Clio wandered what happened

That's what happens when inexperienced drivers run out of talent

Glad to see the kerb is ok.
