2017 London to Brighton Veteran car run.
Discussion
Suggestion here that the Benz was rolling downhill "out of control" with someone hanging off the back trying to slow it down.

p.s. for the pedants, GetSurrey does call the car a Benz but spoils it by saying it's vintage.

There's another thread running specifically on the accident in NP&E: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...
The statement on the Veteran Car Run's website mentions only one person with serious injuries, so hopefully that's not an error and the other seriously injured party has already improved.

That was due to some genius who decided to close a lane at Banstead crossroads for the day and this caused the whole of the
"Mad mile" to jam up and a bloke who came up it and stopped where I was told me all about this.
Although closing the lane on a weekday wouldn't have been any better.

The driver has died
