Многие водители грузовиков и автомобилей не смогли вовремя увернуться и врезались в перевернутое транспортное средство, вызвав большое нагромождение машин. Некоторые стальные прутья сорвались с грузовика через разделительную полосу на южную полосу дороги, которая была закрыта для одностороннего движения из-за ремонта и смены покрытия, что привело к ряду мелких аварий. Поврежденные машины и машины скорой помощи имели значительные трудности из-за тумана при прибытии на место аварии. На месте было очень тесно, и мигающие сигнальные были включены большую часть ночи. Пока не поступало сообщений о сколько-нибудь серьезно пострадавших в аварии. Это происшествие, четвертое по числу столкнувшихся транспортных средств за последний месяц, произошло как раз накануне первой Национальной Конференции по использованию дорог. На церемонии открытия прошлым вечером в Лондоне сэр Джон Стоун, советник по дорожному движению области Метрополитэн, раскритиковал стандарты дорожного движения страны. Он сказал, что очевидным стало то, что британские водители еще должны выучить многие из основных правил дорожного движения. Дорожная дисциплина в стране намного хуже чем в Америке, и особенно опасна манера водителей обгонять.
Начинать обгон без соответствующего сигнала слишком опасно, и у водителей наблюдается настолько же рискованная тенденция вклиниваться в ряд после обгона. Однако, пожалуй, самой распространенной формой нарушения явилось нежелание водителей частных автомобилей сворачивать на внутреннюю полосу движения, если имеется такая возможность. Сэр Джон сказал, что слишком многие вынуждены оставаться на средней или даже на внешней полосе, несмотря на состояние дорожного движения, следствием чего является нетерпение водителей, намеревающихся обогнать и пытающихся встать слишком близко вслед впереди стоящему транспортному средству, тем самым увеличивая вероятность аварии. Конференция продолжается.
