Investigations continue into Radipole Lane car crash
Police have confirmed that the investigation into a crash that happened along Radipole Lane in Southill – which saw a car crash into parked vehicles – is continuing. After the car ploughed into the first vehicle, it was spun around by the impact and hit another car on the other side of the road. The impact on the first car shunted it into a neighbour’s drive, causing damage to additional vehicles.
A total of around six cars were damaged as a result of the crash. A witness described seeing the airbags inflated and smoke coming from the car. The crash happened in the early hours of Saturday, October 14,[1] on the stretch of Radipole Lane between Chafeys Avenue and Mayfield Close.
