Another car has crashed at a road junction just a week after the Kentish Gazette highlighted local people’s fears that a tragedy was waiting to happen.

The vehicle overshot the T-junction at the top of the slip road off the A2 at Bridge and crashed into trees.

Last week parish council chairman John Hill said he feared it was only a matter of time before there was a serious collision with a passing car.

The council is appealing to the Highways Agency to look again at the signage and any other ideas which would reduce the speed of vehicles approaching the junction.

But spokesman James Wright said the road was already very clearly signed with extra high visibility signs and carriageway markings.

He added that the agency would continue to work with the parish council to identify any further measures to improve safety.

The latest collision happened in the late afternoon of New Year’s Day.

The photograph of the scene was taken the following morning by Gazette reader Stuart Field, who lives nearby in Bekesbourne Road.

He said: "It looks like the hazards of this junction have continued immediately in 2012.

"On this occasion the car was brought to rest by trees on the bank of the main A2 Bridge bypass.

"Had the car travelled another few metres it could have rolled down the bank directly back onto the main A2."

Cllr Hill said: "We shall certainly be notifying the Highways Agency of this latest accident in our continuing efforts to persuade them that the current road signage is inadequate.

"We were also interested in the spokesman’s comment last week that the agency was working with us because there has been very little contact."
