Heading down to the in laws this morning, passed the scene of an accident that was in the process of being recovered.
Car had left the road on the stretch of road that goes under the M3, gone through the fence was sitting either upside down or on its side (cannot remember which, only saw it for a split second) very close to the railway line, imagine that would have been a bit of a brown trouser moment for the cars occupant(s)!

The side of the road would indicate towards Farnborough

It would be a very impressive bit of driving to have ended up in that position heading towards Sainsburys direction lets face it!

Having not seen it I can only now presume now the stella has worn off that they have come from Sainsbury's on to roundabout at speed got a proper tank slapper coming off the roundabout and could t correct it??

I saw a picture of it and they've done a spectacular job, they'd definitely get a 10 out of 10 for effort. Will need to check whether the picture is in the public domain and I can post it.
