M3 Strikes Again

[Kinky]

Been stuck on the M3 sliproad onto the A322 for over an hour now. No idea why

Apparently something to do with a coach crashing. http://www.bbc.co.uk/travelnews/surrey/

A322 closed northbound from M3

Serious coach crach. I was filtering through on the bike going south which was also chocka - it looked like the coach veered left across that first set of lights and crashed in to the woods/barriers on the opposite corner.

I spent 30 mins going from Windlesham to Lightwater and then on to Red Road!!

It's been a nightmare around here lately :-(

Went past about 21:00hrs the recovery guys were getting ready to pull the coach out of the trees.
Some big long skid marks down the bagshot slip road, somehow think the driver would have a few skids marks of his own looking at the front end damage.

Went home at about 23:20 the coach was pulled out but sitting across the road junction with what looked like vehicle examiners having a good look at it.

Good question is how the fk he managed to end up where he did.
Some damaged vans removed from scene, looks like serious injury or possible fatal.

Not fatal.

Thats good news at least then.

Just found an article about it...

Thanks for the update guys.
Looked nasty and could have been much worse then.


BTW who was in the Orange ST being chased anti clock by a merked car around the M25 about 16:00hrs near Junc 13 ??

I was in the HGV that kept space so you could pull out and pass the obstruction on the hard shoulder, plenty of dust and debris behind you...
