Driving home today along the B3086 between Larkhill and Shrewton I spotted a car on it's roof a good 40-50ft from the road, the car is in such a state I was unable to identify it 
It has the police tape around it but they musy have been going at a faor old pace to end up that far from the road!
Anyone else spot it? If I had to guess I would say mk6 Astra.

That is an almost straight piece of road, where was the crash? I must admit it is possible to get up a fair head of steam along there.
After the ammo place but before you get to the bit of an 'S' in the road (before the crossroads on the Shrewton side) if that makes sence?I would like to say a big thankyou to the idiot walking the same way as the traffic along there at 7am this morning when it was dark in.....frickin cammo gear!

I know that spot, road can be a bit bumpy if at speed so maybe they just lost it. Bit like the range road from Bulford to Tidworth, if you are not familiar with it or maybe over familiar then it can bite you in the arse.

It's still parked there, and a very long way off! Must have been high speed and very messy. Lucky if everyone got out ok.It has the police tape around it but they musy have been going at a faor old pace to end up that far from the road!

It never surprises me how and where people manage to crash.
A lad in a hatchback managed to wreck it here

on Fri night, wasn't going that quck as he came into camera shot, certainly slower than a lot of taxis, but for some reason braked on the crest then the back went left, he caught it, overcorrected, and the whole car went left into the fence (luckily replaced since Google went past) between the sign and the bus stop before rolling on to its side and then spinning on the footpath. A triumph of momentum of ability.
A few weeks earlier a scooter in lane 2 decided he wanted lane one, so ducked left in front of someone into a gap, and straight into the back of a long line of stationary traffic.
