Another lorry incident on our roads. Now why doesn't that surprise me. What sort of speed do you have to be going to turn a wagon over on Warrington Road ?

speed sometimes has nothing to to with it when car drivers overtake and pull in in front of you causing you to take quick action to avoid hitting another vehicle, what i want to know is why the star only gives news on motorway accidents and accidents not too local when they don't even consider reporting on a serious accident that happened on part of Elton head Road that closed it for hours on friday

Good point about Elton Head Road. Five cars involved. This happened around about chucking out time at the school down the road and near to the junction with Nutgrove Hall where there has been the most shambolic set of road works I have ever seen , carried out there over the last two weeks. They should have had temporary traffic lights or even Stop-Go boards but they didn't. It was just left for people to pick their way around holes in the road, badly parked contractors vehicles and blokes leaning on shovels.
