Caravan crash caused by wet roads
Last week we here at CaravanTimes baked in the summer heat, but the wet weather is slowly making its return, and causing problems for UK drivers.
Adverse weather conditions saw the A11 come to a standstill, with three vehicles crashing, one of which was towing a caravan at the Thickthorn Roundabout in Cringleford. Norfolk Police have warned all motorists to drive cautiously as light drizzles were making the roads quite slippery.
One person from the three-vehicle crash had to be freed by fire crews using rescue equipment, attending from local Earlham, Carrow and Hethersett districts.
“Because it has been so warm the road has been oily. As soon as we get a bit of drizzle the roads become very slippery,” police said.
We want to ensure all of our CaravanTimes readers drive carefully while taking holidays. The wet roads could mean slipping and snaking caravans, which can not only endanger your life, but those of many motorists.
As previously reported by CaravanTimes a ‘failure to look properly’ causes most road accidents; paired with slippery roads and heavy caravans, the change in weather could cause a hazard for drivers.
