That surely isnt an A road

 

[Brains]

I know the A39 is narrow in places, but really, is that the A39 ?
An 'A' road, a major trunk route, one level down from a motorway

I was thinking I'm not going to Somerset if that's what their A roads are like.

 

[Stag man]

Whatever the road, it’s going to be expensive to fix

Ahh a dual Carriageway.......

 

[rolosroller]

Ahh a dual Carriageway.......

When my youngest was about 6, she asked if we were going to see Grandma on the golden road....The what?, The golden road...her older sister said 'She means the jewel carriageway'
Still makes me chuckle.

A side road off the A road according to a local rag that presumably employs people who actually do a little research....

Wonder if the brakes failed as got to be asleep to climbed the bank and flip it…

 

[Oldrat]

Maybe, just maybe…

Look like it.

Probably thought the verge was a bit overgrown ?

Looks like it could be a rental from these guys

Posted directly underneath the picture of the rear end of this, it says;

"Posting the dramatic pitures to social media, Avon and Somerset Police said: "#SCIan has spent 2 days with Team 3 @ASPWestSom using his local knowledge to assist with a successful arrest of a wanted person, arresting a second person for breaching their sex offender conditions, taking statements from an affray & finally attending an RTC #couldyou"."

Odd.

 

[Abacist]

The report does say “ narrow lane OFF the A39”

Probably momentary lack of attention, distraction and front wheel has grabbed the hedge bank, climbed and then flipped over.

Not on this report....

 

[sciac2001]

Just seen a distressing video reel on my Spanish mh facebook page showing a Brit mh get absolutely smashed after they went through a low bridge. (In the UK)
The mh is a total write off and the lady in the vehicle is totally distressed.

I dont know how to link the video here but perhaps best not to.

The original post had a link to Somerset Live which stated

A campervan flipped onto its side following a crash on an A-road in Somerset. The single-vehicle crash involved a motorhome on the A39 near Porlock.

The post later, with a link to the Somerset County Gazette was more specific.

....... only 80 kmh, you can do 60mph when you have pasted the houses and our lane gets a bit narrow, although the council do gate it off over winter as it gets a bit muddy.

 

[Gellyneck]

Could be wrong (well for those who know me, I will be wrong) but at a guess I think he/she may have been heading to here https://www.burrowhayes.co.uk/index.htm but, from memory, I don't recognise the road so he/she may have got lost.

Maybe took the turning off before the one for the site?

 

[Bailey58]

Possibly heading to Selworthy, I did that in the car a while back and hoped I wouldn't meet anything.

 

[HKF]

Probably being chased by the police - see my post above #16

 

[Nonna]

Don't recognise the lane but it's definitely not the A39 itself which is 2 lane white lined.
Going over on a single track lane takes some doing. I can only think they were going too fast, ran up a bank & flipped.

Pity the Council do not cut back the trees to make the sign readable.

Wheres the Pasty services?

 

[Geistguy]

Cornish hedges are usually trees planted on top of a stone ridge, very unforgiving !

Shouldn't be going so fast that you can't read the signage.

I went specialy to take a photo for you so you could read the sign.

Hey Upp, you did not take that photo looking from a RHD driver's seat which would have that big branch on the right obscuring the sign.

While you were there why did you not cut the branch?
