Been hearing this on the radio all afternoon. Thought it must have been a bad accident but I think I heard them say a coach had broken down!!

I was there just after this happened. An idiotic coach driver tried to either turn round or turn up a very tight and steep lane on hillside in wooded bit. In a breathtaking piece of incompetance he managed to ground the back of the coach so that the wheels were hardly touching the ground and were spinning and the front was touching the ground too. This completely blocked the road so comprehensively it was hard to even walk round it. The road was thus blocked for several hours.

In a similar display of incompetance the police didn't divert the traffic at Ladybower for quite some time and it was impossible for larger vehicles to turn round, as the coach had proved, so they were stuck there for hours.
