• RIP teenagers. If I deduce right from where the roadblocks are, this seems to have happened at the barrier-protected left-hand bend just ahead of the junction with the A342 Old Derry Hill. I rode from Chippenham to Devizes along there once.

    There will probably reports explaining what exactly happened, but I imagine the car could have been catapulted over the barrier, or breached it, and perhaps crashed into a house immediately after that. No research into making vehicles more crashworthy against walls is going to protect driver and passengers from that sort of impact and subsequent fire.

    Just dreadful.
