I do not know what caused this accident and I do not know the outcome other than this car was turned upside down and part of the crossing lights were smashed. Hopefully everyone was ok. When I got there, there were several police cars but no sign of ambulances. It would be nice to think whoever was in there walked out, but that is really just wishful thinking. At that time of night, I’d expect that crossing to be empty, but it is only a few hundred yards from a school, so at another time of day there could have been carnage. Be careful.

no kidding- how scary- is it morbid of me to say great catch?? urmysunshine · 2009-03-24: 22:51

How awful....makes your stomach turn when you see such a sight. Unfortunate event - but you did get some well-done shots. lookagain · 2009-03-24: 23:09

Great photojournalism!! ????? · 2009-03-25: 09:39

It's always surprising how easily a car can flip over at low speeds (railings still recognisable), so perhaps the occupants got away with no more than shock and cuts and bruises. The last image could almost be funny, but as you said, at least it happened at night. revenant · 2009-03-25: 10:19
