Crash causes Poole road closure

HERBERT Avenue in Poole has been closed both ways following a crash involving a motorcycle and car tonight (Mon).

Emergency services were scrambled at 6.28 pm after the collision between a silver Renault Megane and a white Suzuki bike.

The crash happened between the Tesco Express store and the double roundabout. The local authority was called to deal with glass on the road.

A Dorset Police spokesman said slight injuries had been caused.

I live in Herbert Ave and constantly hear traffic driving fast/speeding(outsid
e of the rush hour of course!)Over the last few years the traffic has got worse and even one of our speed camera got knocked down! The state of the road also concerns me as I once counted 40 pot holes!
It would also help if drivers remember to put their car headlights on in poor visibility (ie fog,snow,rain or when it is dark!).and stop texting or eating/drinking whilst driving!

Have you seen the state of that stretch of road with some dangerous potholes? It wouldn't surprise me if it was a factor in this accident.
Can you get details Echo?

I would just like to point out that it is illegal to drive a car with fog lights on when there is no fog! Also I hope the Suzuki involved in the accident is not that lovely new one I see going down Seaview Road - hope the rider is okay!

You may not be aware that the Echo do not read all comments hence there is a "ask the Echo" option try that for your questions.Hope thats a help.
