Lucky escape after horror smash


THREE people were lucky to escape with minor injuries after a head-on smash near Worcester.

The engine of a red Peugeot 206 shot through the air after it collided with a silver Vauxhall Corsa, near Top Barn Farm, Holt, on the A443 at about 5.30pm yesterday. Both cars were wrecked and a third is also thought to have been damaged.

A male driver and female passenger in the Peugeot 206 and the female driver of the Vauxhall Corsa were taken to Worcestershire Royal Hospital with minor injuries.

Two fire engines and a rapid response vehicle from the ambulance service attended the scene.

Sergeant Jerry Brooker, from West Mercia Police, who was at the scene, said: “From looking at the state of both cars it is very surprising that all three people have come away with minor injuries.”

The road was closed in both directions for most of the evening.

there were 3 cars involved in this accident not 2. the red peugeot 206 hit my dads MR2 first causing him to spin out of control in the middle of the road and then he hit the corsa head on. my dad was a very lucky man as he managed to walk away from the accident, but his pride and joy is probably going to be wrote off after approx 6 weeks of ownership!

Is it me or are there a lot of Road traffic accidents in Worcester ?. I am always hearing M5 Worcester RTA, or some of the roads outside of Worcester they seem to have horrendous crashes such as the on in this article.

No just not a lot happens round here, and they have to report on something.
