Car crash blocks busy road during rush hour Car crash blocks busy road during rush hour

A BUSY road between Malvern and Worcester was blocked during morning rush hour after two cars crashed.

Police were called at 9.15am to Bastonford on the A449, outside the Half Way House Inn, after a green Skoda Octavia and a silver Suzuki Wagon R crashed.

The cars shunted each other after breaking behind a bus, travelling to Malvern, which stopped to let off a passenger.

An elderly woman complained of chest pain but did not need medical treatment.

The road was cleared at about 10am.

Fabulous journalism.

Cars cannot go into 'the back of each other', unless driving in very tight circles. Nor do they slow by 'breaking' (though in this case they did break)

I bet Gazette journos 'loose' things when they misplace them too.

Is a grasp of basic English and grammar no longer required in the profession?

How the Worcester News has the cheek to run a front page story about the use of poor grammer on a McDonalds poster recently and then write articles like this is laughable.

No doubt the article will soon be changed and the errors corrected, leaving people to wonder what on earth these comments are going on about.

Apparently Michael Gove`s programme to improve English grammar is being resisted by the teaching professions and other left leaning acedemics as being "stifling to creativity" amongst other things - I must say I often wonder what kind of English lessons some of the younger "journalists" employed by this newspaper were given at school.

Yep, noticed the cars now didn't run into the back of each other, but there was still some 'breaking' going on behind the bus.

Amazed that the surreptitious edit didn't correct the most obvious spelling mistake.

Gizza job, I can rite bad like wot u lot does! L8ers! ;-)
