After my sunday afternoon nap I went down ta shops; where at the northend road/talgarth road junction A police car had crached in to the corner of the pedestrian railing, right next to the Bloomberg window. There was also a Mercedes Class A smashed up in the middle of the jucntion.
Anyway there was a bike undernieth the police car, I presume the rider was waiting for the lights on the road side of the barriers. The exact spot where peds and cyclist always wait to cross.
It looked like a high impact incident. Anyway Although the barrier had been removed and police tape and cones put in place cyclists and peds were still waiting on the roadside of the temp barrier...........just waiting to get hit!
It seems every year or so a car, van, truck or coach smashes in to the oncoming barriers in both directions at this jucntion. When will people learn not to save 3 seconds of time and respect their life.
I hope the rider is OK. Anyone see any of this?
