On bank holiday Monday, April 10 at 5:40pm a road traffic accident on South Undercliff between two cars, caused the road to be closed for a time. Mark Streeton, a local resident, gave this account:
“The emergency services were called and one driver was treated for a cut knee at the scene. One of the cars hit a lamp-post and it couldn’t be moved until the highways department arrived to remove the lamp-post which was hanging at a dangerous angle. The phone lines also were hanging loosely. UK Power Networks were working until 3am. It just shows how one misjudgement on the road can cause such chaos. It is a 30mph zone but often cars drive much faster.”
