Topic : accident in Elliott Street |
|
| bandnwire |
this post has been edited 1 time(s) My husband was walking up Elliott Street this morning about 8.45am to go to the Health Centre. As he was turning into the centre he saw a car coming down at great speed. He had only gone a few yards when he heard a terrific bang, and when he turned round he saw that the car had hit a car that was pulling out of the side road( can't remember the name of this road but it's the one opposite the health centre.) There were quite a few cars parked there, so the car pulling out would have his view obscured. Quite a few people ran across from the fire station to help. Thank goodness no-one was injured. When my husband came out after his appointment there was a PCSO putting stickers on the cars. The ones that were parked on the pavement had fixed penalty notices. |

It's the same old story. The police wait until there is an accident before taking action & issuing fixed penalty notices. Nowadays the police turn a blind eye to illegal parking. After saying that If they had to give every illegally parked vehicle a fixed penalty notice, quite honestly I don't know where they would park. On road parking has reached saturation point. |

As it happens I was right next to the accident when it happens and also felt at the time that the car coming down was probably going to fast. I couldn't confirm it though as I only heard it. It is likely that the lad pulling out will claim responsibility for the accident as he was pulling out on to a main road but then again he had little to no visibility so he had no chance to see what was coming down the hill. With regards to the PCSO - he was there within 2 mins of the accident as I had to stay to make sure the drivers were ok. It was amazing that it happened where it did as you've got all the emergency services you need in a small area - esp with the PCSO being there only moments after. |
