Police crash on Hogsback A31 Farnham to Guildford

[shimmey69]

Saw police defender 110 on its roof with what looked like remains of horse box/trailer next to it!!!
Anyone in the know care to shed any light on what happened??
Malicious or accident??

Weather related accident, both officers released from hospital with minor injuries. The Land Rover was towing a small box trailer and it rolled over.

Glad to hear they are ok, Guess the Doughnuts will have to be delivered some other way next month

Glad to hear it wasn't more serious, the cross wind can be pretty exciting on the A31.

Perhaps they were admiring the view and lost control - you could see all the way to London yesterday from the Hogs Back

Sounds horriffic. How many cars in total ended up on their roofs? They must have been strewn everywhere especially since us laypeople with hardly any training wouldn't have stood a chance compared with highly trained police ninja drivers.

Well the Land Rover can be repaired - re-cycled - sold as scrap.
At least the guys got back ok to see their families.

Thought it might have been a cross wind accident but you never know!!

Glad everyone was ok!!

Both vehicle and trailer looked write offs!!!

Most of the LR is bolt on above the chassis except engine,so not too tough for it to look wrecked.
