hope they catch the idiot
that road has claimed a few lives over the last few years
AN accident involving a lorry and Land Rover Discovery sparked a road closure on the A338 on Thursday morning.
Police are appealing for witnesses after the incident was apparently caused by a motorist who was reported to have carried out a series of dangerous ovetaking maneouvres while travelling northbound at the notorious Bickton Bends.
The motorist who drove off from the scene, forced numerous other vehicles to swerve and take evasive action. A section
of the carriageway between Ringwood and Fordingbridge was closed just before 7am, with a large quantity of oil on the road.
Pc Martin Vine of Hampshire Police said the lorry had had its fuel tank ripped off and around 80 gallons of diesel spilling onto the road.
“We have no description of the offending vehicle and I would like any witnesses to come forward.”
He praised the actions of the lorry and Land Rover drivers and added: “Fortunately no-one was hurt. This could have been so much worse.”
Due to large fuel spillage, part of the road may have to be resurfaced and could be closed for the rest of the day.

i use this road a lot and actually live on this road no doubt this accident people will use to convince council etc that the speed limit should be lowered simply due to morons who drive like idiots
They have been calling for the speed limit to be reduced for ages though haven’t they. It is a perfectly safe road to travel at current speed limits but as Peewee says, it is the morons that cause all of the chaos
My mate got stuck in it this morning arrived bt 20 secs after it happened ,said it was a right mess ,apparantly pleb in a focus tried to overtake lorry on bend n discovery was coming the other way! The speed limit on that road is 100percant adequate,it’s the morons in cars that get the don’t want to be stuck behind a truck thing in there head, I frequantly travel along that streach to fordi bridge and I’m always amazed at the risks people will take to get in front of me travelling at 40 mph
