Roger Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Lorry in collision with parked cars in Hereford city centre A LORRY has been in collision with parked cars in Hereford city centre tonight. Emergency services were called to Holmer Road at around 7.30pm following reports of a collision involving a HGV and two parked cars. Two fire crews from Hereford, one from Kington and one from Droitwich with heavy rescue gear attended but no one was trapped. The A49 at Newtown Road is currently partially blocked in both directions. HT Where about's was this? Holmer Road is quite long! I'd be interested to see if it was anywhere near the Leisure Centre .... Anonymous file story indicates the road is in the centre of town .... Nope! Plus a Droitwich Fire Engine? Crazy!

Clarkester Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 The report says blocked near Newtown Road, so I would guess that it is near the mini roundabout at the Widemarsh Common end of Holmer Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ubique Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Last night BBC H & W gave the location as Priors Place , ( think that was the name ) which is by the mini island Homer Rd / Newtown Rd , as Clarkester reported . My first thoughts were that it would be by the leisure centre , if it had been it would have been the excuse the Council needed to slap double yellow lines along the whole road .

That would, I agree, be their first thought. Mine would be to remove the car park charges instead. That would move those problem cars off the road and back to where they should be. In the car park.
