Car came out just in front of the biker. I know this junction and there are trees in car’s view and I belive car driver couldn’t see coming vehicles… Police said biker was doing too high speed for this road. Long skid mark on the street. Biker is fine, ambulance took him to hospital with broken collar bone. Glad he had full leathers. Not so nice for his bike… Front came off totally and it’s smashed very hard. When I saw it passing didn’t look good at all and was afraid of sad news. 57 reg Honda CBR600RR trashed.

Police said it was definetelly biker’s fault having to high speed. I would split it in half between car and bike driver. It’s dodgy road though.

Just little situation map:

Be careful down there if anybody rides that road. Hopefully bikers gets back on the street soon. If you are the member of LB please fill us with more inforamtion. I could be worse but ended up only in hospital.

Stay safe and keep reasonable speeds !

how strange

Glad biker is OK, could have been a lot worse.

I know that bit of road, use it every time I get off the M1, will be more careful in future.

Google maps is amazing isnt it? Just looking at it, it is defo a ‘tricky’ junction… not fun. What is the speed limit on that road?

Glad to hear the lad was ok…collar bone breaks are ******* horrible though!

GLAD THE BIKER IS NOT TO BADLY HURT.

That’s nearish, where I live & I know that road, but I can’t recollect seeing too many trees, plus it’s not a road you should be going fast.

I drive this road at least 2 times a day. If coming from roundabout there is bush/trees on your right hand side and If you keep on the right side of the road to avoid hole in the middle cars coming won’t see you.
Yes that’s not the road we should drive fast but it’s little bendy and only asks for some more throttle.

I remember the pot hole in the middle of the road, but I can’t recollect the bush/trees. Well I haven’t driven down this road for at least 6 weeks (I’m normally driving on A406, twice a day). I’ll believe you since, as you say, I drive this road at least twice a day.

Arnie thanks for the warning & I’ll watch out, when I’m there next time.

was speaking to the estate agent that’s showing me some places last night and apparently two weeks ago at what sounds to be roughly the same spot/area his best mate on a fireblade got knocked off by a car at low speed and a truck drove over his left side - stopped his heart. he was resusitated but has lost the arm. flippin horrible, really feel for him
