Err your map doesn't show southern way, why is it still shut 4hours later ? It's causing chaos.

Bush Fair, the Fairway and roads all around it were at a complete standstill when I left my office this evening. It took me 30 minutes to do what is normally a few seconds' journey out of Bush Fair. I could not get onto Tilwicks Road so drove in many painfully slow stops and starts to the Southern Way traffic jam, where vehicles crept along.

I was stuck in this earlier could see it was obviously a serious incident. Hope everyone involved is ok and has not had to endure the painfully slow stops that Colleen (above) went through

There have been fatalities on that stretch before which is why I believe there is a speed camera. Hope people are ok.

Collenn, if your journey is only a few seconds , why don't you walk.

I don't know why people get so annoyed, there was an accident. People are injured. Show a little compassion.

Hi Walker, The few seconds it normally takes me to drive out of Bush Fair, is the time it takes me to drive from a parking area on the Fairway behind my office, onto the junction of The Fairway and Tilwicks Road. My after work drive to Tesco and home on Fridays normally takes me about 10-15 minutes to get Tesco's, then another 15-20 minutes to drive home from Tesco. Last Friday, It took me around half an hour to drive along Fairway to try to get onto Tilwicks Road, then, as Tilwicks Road was completely blocked, to turn around and drive back along the Fairway and queue to get onto Southern way, the traffic on which was also bumper to bumper but was at least crawling along. I drive to work because it would take me too long to walk to and from daily - and also because use of my car is essential for my job.

"Maybe she is too lazy!!!" (I'm right) Was that really a fair comment to make, I'm right, when you knew nothing about the length of my journey to and from work, or that I have to work long hours and weekends at times, that I do shopping on my way home from work - and use of a car is essential for my job?
Not saying

Drop the speed limit! I think it's 40mph! Far too fast. And most people go over the limit, sadly! Go slow, get wherever safer! Xxx
