Another crash on that road. Surprise surprise. The council'll just put up another sign and call it a day. 😤
they've been saying 'we'll review it' for years. Nothing changes.
single vehicle crash, hmm. Wonder if speed or booze was involved. Not that we'll ever hear the full story.
doesn't matter whose fault it is, a life is lost. Show some compassion.
awful news, praying for the families. Such a tight community, everyone knows everyone round here.
Lost my cousin on that road last year. Ffs when will they do something about it?

lol cope. The road's fine, learn to drive.
RIP to the person who passed. 11 injured, 5 serious... that's huge. Hope they all pull through.
yeah nah the road's dodgy as, especially after rain. But people also drive like idiots out there.
my uncle drives that road every day. It's not the road, it's the idiots speeding.
and what about the massive potholes that never get fixed? That's not driver error.
Driven that road hundreds of times. It's narrow, windy, and full of tourists who don't know how to use a passing lane. Recipe for disaster.
Tragic. But we need to talk about road safety education, not just blame the roads.
This. We need mandatory defensive driving courses for new drivers especially.
So sick of these comments blaming the road. It's always the driver's fault. One dead, that's one family destroyed. Show some respect.
get stuffed, I never said it wasn't tragic. But we can't ignore the cause.
