Shock photo emerges as car overturns in Stourbridge - West Midlands Ambulance assessed a man
A clear up operation was in place today after an accident in Stourbridge last night in which a single car overturned.
The route between Stourbridge Ring Road and Mill Race Lane was blocked off for two hours after the accident at 7.50pm last night Wednesday and delays were experienced through the morning rush hour as contractors remained on site to clear up debris outside The Old Wharf pub and Johnson's Dry Cleaners.
Members of the Stourbridge Matters group posted about the traffic system coming out of Mill Race Lane industrial estate which only allows a left turn and aims to prevent motorists taking a short cut towards Amblectore by performing a U turn.
Aidan Hackwood said: "Just let us turn right out the estate… facilitate it rather than outlawing it."
Andy Johnson commented: " Should be a right turn lane as well. As traffic lights on ring road crossing and opposite Old Wharf Rd. But yes or no. that car crash was not a 30 mph ... probably a lot more to end up on its roof!"
Adrian Poole said: "It needs a proper right hand turn. To have to go all around the ring road to go back towards Wordsley is a pain in the rear end.
"Those concrete barriers have made it more dangerous especially to van drivers as it’s almost impossible to see what’s coming down from Amblecote when waiting to join traffic."
A West Midlands Ambulance spokesman said: "We were called to reports of an accidenton High Street in Amblecote, Stourbridge at 7.52pm on Wednesday .
"We sent an ambulance, a paramedic officer, a Community First Responder and the WMAS Critical Care Car to the scene. On arrival crews found a man who did not wish to be assessed and was discharged at the scene.”
