walked past the aftermath, looks like the land rover took down a tree and a telephone pole too as there was 2 BT guys looking in the whole and the smashed telephone pole lying on the verge, must have been doing some speed as it was on a relativly straight piece of the road. glad driver is ok though :)

The original report said 6 police cars and 2 fire engines.
Fortunately minor injuries, but does seem an awful lot of resources for a one car crash.

Yep. 84 year old Mrs Mablethorpe of the Fairway reported smoke and that one of the drivers "looked like a terrorist because his eyes were too close together. That's how you tell y'now according to the guild"

It became a full scale incident and the Fairway was shut for 8 hours allowing the emergency services to erect their bouncy castles and playtents ....
