The
street light illuminating the ‘safety zone’ crossing opposite Balmoral Road had
to double as a stop sign last night as someone clearly driving too fast (or too
drunk – or both) ploughed straight into it.


The blog
understands that this occurred sometime last night. I would be interested if anyone
knows any more about what happened. They would have had to be going at quite a
speed in order to have done that much damage. Was the car wrecked as much as
the pole? Did the vehicle actually drive straight over and keep going?
Hopefully no one was hurt but I do hope someone is going to be taking
responsibility.
Update (same evening)
The broken pieces have now been cleared away. Thanks to blog reader N. Smith for the comment below filling in a few extra details.
