I was one the first people to arrive at the scene after an apparent head on accident on a B road. Fortunately someone was already on the phone to the emergency services. The driver of the Bentley Continental GT appeared unhurt. The driver of the small van..................
Until the second police car arrived I directed traffic, so it didn't go beyond the crossroads, just before the bend that hid the accident. All apart from two cars took notice of me. One woman in a Nissan 350Z carried on until she reached the accident. The male passenger in a Fabia estate seemed agitated I'd stopped people to enable them to take a very small detour to get round the accident. I told him they should continue straight on if they wanted to be obstructed by an accident blocking the road.
An HGV driver was concerned about other traffic, because the little detour took him on a narrow country lane. I was very helpful telling him they would have to get out of the way.
An ambo was first on the scene, but I expect the rural location meant it took about 20 minutes to arrive. I was surprised the police took longer.
I do hope the van driver will be alright. I've done a google search of the accident to no avail.
