Accident on Stour Bridge

And the rain came galumping down, which may have caused, been a contributory to, or have nothing to do with the accident on the Stour Bridge - island side, close to the Severn Trent access point where earlier someone was parked with a wood chipper and a van to spray it into to.

Anyway it started as I came up Vale Road. The traffic was getting heavy, unusual, but then again it is raining; then down came the ambulance (always useful that the left hand side of Gilgal is almost always empty). I reached the top of Vale Road to see two PCSOs hurrying down on foot, then I got into Gilgal and was passed by a police car, then two more PCSOs on foot, then another police car.

So what appears to be some sort of accident involving someone on a scooter and we get one ambulance partially blocking the exit from the island with two police cars parked behind it and about six officers directing traffic.

Okay genuine applause for directing traffic, some small hassle for anyone coming out of Baldwin Road major hassle for those on Worcester Road as the direction was at the island exit and everyone coming off Hartlebury Road has right-of-way over them. Sarcastic applause to the City Link van who came off Hartlebury Road to join the highly visible queue on the island and thus narrowed down the turn to get into Worcester Road.

[Update - hasn't featured in the Shuttle that I can see, so I'm assuming a survivor]
