Published Date: 28 November 2008
A STRING of crashes on Calderdale roads kept police and firefighters busy.
Three cars crashed into barriers in separate incidents on the same bend in Boothtown Road between Halifax and Queensbury.
The cars blocked the busy A647, causing major disruption.
A red Peugeot 206, blue Toyota Avensis and blue Ford Ka were involved in the accidents near the junction with Swalesmoor Road.
Two women were taken to Huddersfield Royal Infirmary after a crash in Brighouse.
Huddersfield Road was closed both ways between the Heath Mount Road junction and the Daisy Road junction.
A silver BMW and a minibus collided. It is not clear which vehicle the women were travelling in.
The M62 was closed westbound between Rishworth and Milnrow for almost two hours after an oil spill.
Diverted traffic clogged roads through the district, including Ripponden and Triangle.

If 3 crashes happened on the same bend, did the council grit that area after the first crash? After the second one, surely the police took action knowing how dangerous the road was!! so why the 3rd?

First bit of ice and the numpties that shouldn't be allowed to drive prove why. No doubt most were on the school run

Surely its common sense when the temperature is this low its going to be icy, a bit of caution would'nt go a miss and slow down!

I'd like to agree with you soothsayer, the school run is a pet hate but the 3 car thing happened just after 7am and within moments of one another, so more likely commuters to work,too fast too close.
