Thats a big road. Could we be any more specific as it stretches from Pennycroft to the A51!?

Suprising that there has been a serious, road closing accident on this section of the Weston Road. If it had been on a faster section near to the Showground or out towards Weston Bank then I could understand but the bit where Tixall Road joins by the Met Bar is usually jammed with slow moving traffic - surprised anyone could have been going fast enough to have had such a serious coming together

As I understand it the incident is where the Tixall Road JOINS the Weston Road by Co-op / The Met BarZylo said:

I'm not really suprised - some people shoot right out of tixall road without looking properly. And recently I've seen a lot of people turning right when they are not supposed to!!
