Chimaera - Crashed A21 (Tonbridge)

[Mark B]

Got stuck in a short tailback Southbound just before the South Tonbridge turn off on the A21 Saturday at about 16.00hrs.

Dark grey metallic Chimaera obviously spun and gone into the central reservation backwards...... If it is anyone who reads here, I hope your OK there didn't seem to be anyone around just the Feds sweeping up a lot of mess including a wheel and carrier ripped off.

Hope all is OK?

Nasty piece of road with stupidly short on-slip obviously designed by a real pick. Lots of major prangs there. Also hope the driver is OK.
On this same stretch of road, press-on drivers heading south on the A21 should be very careful as there is a forward facing radar camera of the new variety. By the time you spot it, too late.
To be fair to the local , there are several warning signs. The problem is that further up the A21, there are also several signs but no camera there so newcomers ignore the signs further on.

Never had a problem with that stretch of road at all, I quite like it actually especially when going back over the A21 heading towards T Wells.

The accident was right next to the camera you mention, maybe spotted it and anchored up putting the car into a spin???? No one else was involved.

Looks like the 'a' got ripped off in the accident as well as the wheel & other bits.

Lets hope the occupants were unharmed

I was travelling at a fair lick down that road at that exact time, but didn't notice anything.

Must have happened very soon after I passed, I hope he wasn't trying to catch me up!

From the way you described it doesn't sound too serious, hopefully it was just a wounded pride moment.
