This accident happened on the A34 at the Polar Ford roundabout, not the King's Arms roundabout where the one on October 29th took place.

Was there another accident last Friday early evening 16th November on Broadwalk involving an overturned car? Three overturned cars in three weeks - not a record Wilmslow residents should be proud of.

Who says its a resident of Wilmslow Diane? They could have been driving through.

I have no idea where the drivers reside. I just feel as a community we should be concerned that in 3 weeks there have been 3 accidents where a car has overturned. To me that implies that the drivers are going too fast for the road conditions and therefore driving too fast in our town.

Why is it that some people believe RTCs are caused by speed and not other drivers or poor road layout?
I know of 1 blameless driver who was overturned at a T junction (inside lane) by a car entering from the right. The other driver was convicted of due care & attention yet IMO the fault lay with the driver turning left, who indicated to the convicted driver that it was safe to pass in front of him to the inside lane. Innattention, not speed, caused this accident.
A similar situation exists where Chapel La traffic attempts to cross the priority Bedells La/Hawthorn La junction

I think these 'accidents' were single-vehicle ones; no other vehicle involved except the one that ended up inverted. If there was no mechanical failure of the car such as steering or suspension that caused the car to overturn, then inappropriate speed for the road layout and conditions would seem to be the cause.
