“Drove past this ourselves afterwards comming off the ring road, other road users were not being considerate at all! Am amazed another accident wasn't caused by the bad traffic management for traffic going the other way. There was also a lack of high viz jackets being used by the police by Asda who did not allow the traffic to move on a rotation basis and caused a tailback going back to the ring road! Do the police not get taught traffic management any more?”

“I was heading into town shortly after the incident - I didn't witness what happened. There was a paramedic car parking in the centre of the road with blue lights on. That didn't stop a moron in an Alfa Romeo attempting to overtake me!!”
