Urgh! Just taken me an hour to get to work as Blackboy Hill is closed - crawling (literally) with police accident investigators. Hope everybody walked away from whatever it was. :cry:

I saw the traffic tailing down Stoke Hill, which struck me as odd, so it must have screwed a lot of peoples journey into work.

Hope the poor fella gets well, whatever the circumstances for the accident.
