Bournemouth: victim of an icy road
Image: © Chris Downer Taken: 2 Dec 2010
The day after Bournemouth's heaviest snow for 17 years fell overnight, this car has fallen victim to the ice on the untreated Queens Road as it descends fairly steeply from Branksome Wood Road to cross the Gardens. Someone has helpfully inscribed the word HELP in the snow on the rear window. To save any embarrassment for the hapless motorist, I have falsified the number plate.
