Hadn’t seen that either. Looked purposeful to my untrained eye. The comments on the adventureland blog posted above suggest that the road is notorious (though for what wasn’t clear to me) and that people regularly film traffic incidents there. What ever the rights or wrongs, something is very wrong there.
People’s comments are astonishing when it comes to such incidents. How often do you here people say of a car crash victim “Oh, they were in the wrong place they shouldn’t have been driving down the road”? If the bloke was cycling along a railway line I could understand such comments.
