The Threat To the C13 - Dinah's Hollow Explained
Christmas 2018 - a High Flyer who Hedged his Bets
|
This Tuesday (15 November) a tall recycling waste lorry (see first photo) hit a power cable in Melbury Abbas and brought it down. The cable hit the windscreen of the car behind, in which was a mother and child. The cable bounced and landed on the cab of a following lorry. So the lorry that hit the cable went on his way as did the car (the car driver was actually directing traffic for awhile), leaving the other lorry waiting the electricity board team, who arrived to sort it all out (second photo). Damage was also sustained to Stone Cottage where the line was connected to.

backup by getting stuck in Melbury Abbas on the C13 on the 2nd of June.
Traffic was completely halted and residents had to direct it backwards!
It backed down to West Lane to finally clear the road. You can see how
narrow the road is through the village from the photo |
