I lived in Vale Lodge for a long time and there seemed to be an accident of some kind on that corner, almost every week, mostly however affecting the Vale Lodge wall which was frequently being demolished and rebuilt. At one time a car somersaulted over the wall and landed in the front garden.
Its been only a matter of time until the school was affected and it is a blessing that the railings were there to absorb the impact, and of course, that it happened at the weekend. Hopefully there will be a proper investigation and perhaps some further speed reduction measures, if that was indeed the reason for the crash.
