Did it land and carry on driving???
I cant see any wreckage as the camera comes off the roundabout. -
It's either in the middle of the roundabout or low earth orbit.
Personally I think it was the UK space program's 1st launch attempt to rival the Galileo GPS system."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

"It is quite a bad roundabout, he just didn't see what was coming because he was going so fast.
"He was on his own, he had a few cuts and bruises but the ambulance came straight away and took him to hospital.
"He just didn't see the roundabout coming."
As stated in the comments, these roundabouts are bastards, they just leap out of nowhere in front of you.
Though, saying that, I nearly ended up on a roundabout between the A14 & the M1 20 odd years ago.
And some of those years have been truly odd, it must be said.
Curiously, on the same roundabout, there was a 5cwt van perched neatly about halfway up the slope.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; 14 September 2018, 13:33.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment

Originally posted by DaveB View PostPolicw report said 3 occupants were taken to hospital with varying injuries. So I'm guessing it came to a fairly abrupt halt on landing.
I nearly did the same on a raised roundabout "island" in a north London back street one rainy night a few years ago.
Didn't see the perishing thing, and bombed over it at 50 MPH, although luckily the result wasn't quite as spectacular as van man's caper.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment
