Lambo Crash, A47 Blofield bypass
Discussion
Hope it wasn't anyone on here. about 3pm today a yellow Murcielago had been punted through a fence and 100 yds across a field. It was heading west on the A47, on the duel carriageway after the 50mph limit. Looks like it was going a bit quick around the sweeping left hander and span off.
Looked like it stayed the right way up so hopefully nobody was badly hurt.
ETA Murci, not Gallardo. sorry, not familiar with them, had to check google pics.

I saw the Lambo in the field, having just been out for a sedate drive in the Turbo. (Hope he wasn`t trying to catch me!)
Glad no one was hurt, but just how fast was he going? Any guesses? After the 50 limit there is a fair bend,which has been known to catch a few people out, but he was at least 200 metres after that. Should be doing at least 150 by then! Is that Lambo a 4-wheel drive?

There's a nasty patch of standing water after the corner too, not sure wether they left the road before that though. Must have been fairly quick round the bend, my 106 has been known to find its way around there at 1.15 leptons, although perhaps not in the wet, but you'd expect a Lambo to have a tad more grip than my shopping cart.

He went off after the patch of standing water. I know because I came round the bend - passed through the water - slowed down - and was glad I did as there were two cars ahead in the left hand lane who had clearly had to brake hard and had stopped as one of the fence posts was in the middle of the lane. I suppose the Lambourghini had crashed 30 seconds earlier and had crashed at high speed, because it travelled a fair distance in the raised field after crashing through the fence and facing the wrong direction. My first thought was, how on earth did it get up there. I would guess it skidded in the standing water.

Driver and passenger are fine, cars not though but can you believe people were actually stopping to take photographs while his wife was still in the car? There are some real inconsiderate W
KERS out there…
Ermm, inconsiderate???? When I came across it reminded me of similar accident that I unfortunately witnessed. The driver didn't slide in a vacant field he went across in to the opposite carriage straight into a family going home from holiday. Result three kids now missing a father.KERS out there…Road conditions were poor, have no sympathy.Consideration is only due where respected. Sorry.

Everybody has their own right of opinion but don't forget this is a different accident to the one you unfortunately witnessed before, im not condoning anything here just simply pointing out that it was out of order due to the fact she could have been seriously injured or worse and people want to take picture’s??? And you're saying that’s ok? Hmmm perhaps I don’t want to be part of this site anymore…..
I have to agree with you. There is no reason to stop and stare at an accident regardless of who was at fault. At the end of the day there were people in the car and as long as they got out OK, that's what matters.Gassing Station | East Anglia | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
