I was actually at Royles Jaguar near the bridge of this accident, when it happened .Why is it the police overreact and decide to cause traffic chaos by closing the bridge over the by-pass.Cars were by then, jammed under the silly one-way bridge under the railstation.It was obvious to close the road at the station,before the bridge, so cars could turn around.The accident/problem was down on the by-pass not on Station Rd . The Police do exactly the same on motorways,close everything down on all lanes, causing mayhem.Nevertheless it was sad what happened to this woman.
