Cret Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Just heard on the radio that there's been a crash on Douglas prom resulting with one of the vehicles involved being on its roof, and resulting in big traffic delays. Hope all concerned are ok obviously and not seriously injured but managing to roll a car on the prom?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hboy Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Just heard on the radio that there's been a crash on Douglas prom resulting with one of the vehicles involved being on its roof, and resulting in big traffic delays. Hope all concerned are ok obviously and not seriously injured but managing to roll a car on the prom?! I hope everyone is ok too but I was also wondering how you can roll a car on the prom. Any guesses whether one of the dreaded promonade u-turners finally got their comeuppance and got flipped by a passing 4 x 4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Also closed Port Jack end due to the waves coming over. Best just avoid Douglas - come to Ramsey instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempus Fugit Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 and just to confound the situation they had the bridge lifted over the harbour at abnormal time (not 15/45mins) I blinked and missed the rain whilst shopping but found Peel road flooded as usual with chaps with brooms poking about in the puddles !

Cret Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 come to Ramsey instead. Dunno why dude but that line just reminded me of the Fast Show sketch "We're from the Isle of Man". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Git Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Any guesses whether one of the dreaded promonade u-turners finally got their comeuppance and got flipped by a passing 4 x 4? No, it was a small white van and a black car. According to my wife there were plenty of people taking photos on their camera phones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Git Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 It was a friend's nephew in the black car. Seems OK despite the car ending up on the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeky boy Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 As far as I can recall, no-one has managed to roll a car on the prom before So well done mate, you will go down in Manx motoring history along with the likes of the guy who was clocked going past the Lankie at 114mph in a 1600 Capri, or the black E Type which careered through Governors Bridge at 110mph and took out half of a garden before ending up as a mangled steaming wreck in the middle of Glencrutchery Road There may be hope fore these wet-behind-the-ears Nova drivers yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
