Ridgewalk Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Cheers for that. Travelling from Manchester Airport today. I'd imagine that the Woodhead will be very busy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were there only an hour before it happened, didn't see anything unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_S6 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 One of the vehicles involved yesterday said to have been driving "erratically" before the accident. I've seen so many bad drivers on that road and thought "one day they're going to get killed and take somebody else with them". Sadly it looks like yesterday was one of those days.

dutch Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Why on earth would you have seen anything unusual an hour before the incident happened? There are times we see unusual things even when nothing happens. Police asked for any information, there have been times I have seen people racing there.

Gooner11 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 (edited) That road is bad even in good weather is rather use woodhead than go over that road lol Edited May 17, 2016 by Gooner11 Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJRB Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Other than the weather which can be an issue,the Snake is my preferred route rather than Woodhead. The only problem is the drivers who like to practise their rallying skills and the impatient drivers who try to overtake where it's illegal or inappropriate. You usually see them 3 or 4 cars ahead as you queue through Glossop and Mottram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, I was overtaken multiple times on Friday night whilst doing 50 with snow visibly settling on the road... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
