How did this happen? - MVA call to Earlys Road, Cust

We were surprised when we turned out to a motor vehicle accident recently! It seems

that the motorist saw a truck pull away from the work site and assumed that it had just

driven through. The driver simply followed what they thought was the right path. Have a look for the shovel in the final shot, it was dropped by a very quick workman when the car went in!
