Not long since that last bad accident on that road (motorcyclist killed I think a few months ago?). Clearly far too early to speculate about what may have happened, but more accidents seem to happen there than many other places...

I seem to remember an incident on that road many years ago where a Porsche driver was going so fast that when he crashed he managed to flip the car over the fence onto the railway line.

It's really quite a badly designed piece of road; not single carriageway but not dual carriageway either, kind of a bit of both. And considering its a 40 limit you get some absolute lunatics piling along it at times. Surprised its not been hit up with a speed camera yet.

 

Making it dual carriageway like the top of the avenue would have been a much more sensible idea.

A motorcyclist got killed on Balmoral Way recently, theres cones and flowers on one of the bends there. I'm not amazed tbh, there is a pack of bikers who regularly use Lordshill Way/Romsey Road/Horns Drove as a makeshift isle of man tt circuit. Horns has been closed for roadworks recently, I guess they weren't familiar with the bends along Balmoral.
