The scene following the lorry crash on The Avenue in Southampton
MOTORISTS are being urged to avoid Burgess Road at the junction with The Avenue in Southampton after a collision between a lorry and a car.
Although the accident happened just before 4am today emergency services have been unable to clear the vehicles following the crash that also damaged a set of traffic lights.
According to Hampshire police the lights have not yet been repaired leading to congestion in the area.
The lorry driver suffered a minor cut as a result of the collision with a Vauxhall Zafira at 3.47am.
It is hoped work to start the repairs and recovery will begin after this morning’s rush hour.

Presumably the guy who stayed at the scene told the police the name and nationality of the driver. When a driver flees the scene there is usually a pretty good reason!! Drink, drugs, stolen car, on the run from the Police.

Thx for the medal - it did feel a bump - it mounted the kerb n swerved 300m or so down the opposite of the road before stopping - both air bags inflated and windscreen shattered - at least one Eastern European had blood down his face - my reason for posting is for clarity - someone earlier stared they had made off, they didn't

Hold on, how on earth does a little car cause a 7.5Tonne truck to crash? Surely the car would have felt like a speed bump?
A high speed small projectile, say a .243 bullet weighing a few gram's, can knock over a heavy steel plate weighing 10 kilograms, the kinetic energy of a car weighing ~1400 Kg PLUS passengers/luggage is more than enough to deflect a 7.5 Tonne truck.
