clogginchris Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 There's been a bad accident at the junction of Glossop Road and Upper Hanover street - outside the Harley. There's a car on it's roof, plenty of police, two fire engines and an ambulance. Best to avoid the area for now - traffic flow very restricted. Hope no-one's hurt. The ambulance turned up with blue lights, but hasn't dashed off so that's perhaps a good sign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purdyamos Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 We've just driven past it. The upturned car looked pretty flattened. It must have taken a hell of a bash. I really hope the driver is OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strix Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 A very perculiar set of circumstances... how the heck did it get on its roof? The police seemed to be directing taxis over the pavement I hope nobody was hurt badly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clogginchris Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 We were walking up West St when it happened - we heard a crash and the next thing we saw was the car on it's roof - it hadn't spun round , just flipped over. It had obviously hit another car, which didn't look too badly damaged. It's a dangerous junction - too many people do illegal right turns there.

Yeah, it's seems to have been getting worse recently from both sides of the roads. There's been many occasions when we've been heading up towards Broomhill and somebody has turned right coming down from the University, that's the most dangerous because they'll often pull out straight in front of you, then there's those that turn right coming out of West St/Glossop Road when there's a cut in front of HSBC that allows people to turn right. It's a disaster area, and something needs changing or enforcing! We got back into Sheffield at 11.20 last night, and it was a bit of a mess!

alchemist Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 There is also FAR too many cars jumping the lights there as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarSparkle Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 It's a dangerous junction - too many people do illegal right turns there. That was my first thought when I heard about the accident - it's a dangerous junction at the best of times StarSparkle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I1L2T3 Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 saw horrendous accident there in late 1992. Car went through a red light, left the road and bounced off one of those information boards. The people had to be cut out by the fire brigade. Never found out if there were any fatalities but wouldn't be suprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
