This weekend Storm Dennis brought a lot of rain and some fairly strong winds. Another tree was coming down on the Ock Valley Walk as the ground softened and the winds blew.
There was a crash along Ock Street. The police and recovery vehicles were sorting it out at around 4 pm today.
There was damage to two cars, the windows of Sydenhams, and the pillar that helps holds up the upper storey above Sydenhams.
how does one end up doing that on a long straight road like ock street!? even facing forward is bizarre but backwards?
Maybe coming out of conduit road too fast?
Hit some old diesel moistened up nicely by the rain, turn your wheel to avoid some other problem and find yourself on a fairground ride into a shop window – or a tree, or a lampost. Let’s hope nobody was hurt.
