another accident on the same stretch of road that a young man sadly lost his life recently. I live there and the corner is all wrong and there are too many cars parked on the bend due to infill housing. The council need to look at this before we have another trajedy.
How?

Unless there was a medical event, there's really no excuse for crashing into a parked car. If the road is congested then drivers should slow down to avoid colliding with this.
Here we go again!

It was the ROADS fault. Just as that car came along the road did somethings nasty and just flipped it over. How come I have driven that road many times and it has never flipped me over? Oh, wait, maybe I need to go faster or not pay so much attention when driving.

the road was closed for over an hour, in motorsport the scene is cleaned up in 15mins, but to add there are a number of places that should not be parking due to vision restriction
ROAD?

And all you know it alls have never made a mistake? Clearly the driver made an error, however when repeatedly differing drivers get caught out in this same location the road needs to looked at to see why.
