This was an accident waiting to happen, a dangerous junction, especially in heavy fog. Very sad!

The problem is that there`s no slip road at this junction, traffic wanting to join the A1 northbound has to pull out directly into the flow of traffic, and its an uphill climb, so building up speed to match the flow uses up valuable seconds, and if there`s anything approaching at speed it`s on you in double quick time. That said, this accident has only just happened, so we don`t know the full story.
Wonder what the Lib Dems will have to say about this! will dualling the A1 make a difference here? I wonder!
