Came through about 8.20 this morning, the set of lights before Sainsbury's (M3 bound) was what looked like a 2 car shunt, 2 ambulances and 5 BIB in attendance.
Seemed a little excessive from the BIB... was one of the cars in the accident carrying donuts?

Maybe it wasn't their car and/or before getting out of the back lorry from Dover

The light sequence at this junction is very dangerous as the delay between the lights changing is so short and the idiots driving too fast in the mornings thinking they can jump the reds.

I work in that estate, not sure if the car involved this morning was someone from our place, the one a few months back was, but there's been several major accidents at this junction over the last couple of years, surprised there hasnt been any serious injuries (apart from the chap who died on his bike the other year).

Never an over kill with the blue lights IMO, if that was you or a friend or family member and they didnt get there in time or in numbers to support the accident you wouldn't be saying that I'm sure smile

just to clarify the comment about donuts, was not referring to the blue lights, more the number of BIB in attendance.

Couldn't have been traffic, as I doubt they could staff 5 cars on the western side!
