Judging by the marks on the
Judging by the marks on the pavement and grass, the car looks to have lost it on the roundabout.
After mounting the kerb, and scraping past the bushes, the car then slammed into the 40MPH sign, and re-entering the road again, to remount the curb, finally coming to a halt in the bushes.
The Police officers at the scene refused to comment if the car was speeding, "as they weren't there at the time", but did say that no one was injured.
It was bloody lucky that no one was walking on the pavement at the time.
From the photo’s posted looks
From the photo’s posted looks like speed was a major factor but without all the facts and witnesses reports we can only guess. At least there were no major injuries and as stated if there had been anyone walking on the pavement at the time things may have been different. Although visibility is a lot better coming off the estate I still think that speed is an issue from cars coming down R.M.W, hopefully this will be addressed when the new fire station is operational.

What's impressive is how quick the highways agency / council have put the speed sign back up!
