Lucky escape for young driver and passenger

A young couple were very lucky to escape with minor injuries last night, when their car left the road and rolled over on the Chinnor Road between Thame and the Towersey turn.

This was the view of Thame Station Officer, Andy Ford, this morning, speaking after the town’s Remembrance Service.

“The car seems to have left the road after a slight bend, hit a fence, bounced back into the road, rolled over and landed on its roof,” he said. “Several pieces of the fence were impaled in the car.

“I cannot help but repeat the same message put out after the spate of local road traffic incidents lately, that at this time of the year, the road are very slippery and drivers must adjust their driving speed accordingly.

“This couple were very lucky to escape serious injury and possibly worse.”
