A car crashed into a fence post at a notorious accident blackspot this afternoon.

Police said the incident happened on the A675 Belmont Road, between Belmont and Abbey Village, when the driver swerved to avoid a motorcycle travelling in the opposite direction.

The air ambulance was called because of the rural location and the driver was not injured in the crash which happened about 2pm.

North West Air Ambulance Chief Executive Lynda Brislin said: "We urge all motorists to take care in these tricky driving conditions and be aware of other road users."

Sometimes its not a case of drving stupidly its a case of un due care and attention. My dad was seriously injured from riding his bike on this road beacuse a guy in a car didn't see my dad and pulled out on him beacause he wasn't looking and now he is paying the price for it. People need to take extra care driving on these long roads and ALWAYS look out for bikes. They have the same right as anyone else on the roads...

No such thing as a bad road, just bad drivers.
