A tragic accident took place on the A272 near Petworth, Sussex on Monday, when a 74-year-old man from Reigate lost his life. The man, who was driving a Porsche GT2, had attempted to avoid a large pothole on the road and ended up colliding with a BMW before crashing into a nearby family home. Emergency services were immediately called to the scene, but unfortunately, the man was pronounced dead upon their arrival.
According to investigators, the pothole on the road was the main cause of the accident. It is suspected that one of the cars involved swerved to avoid the pothole, leading to the chain reaction collision. A source close to the investigation revealed that this is a possibility they are looking into.
The collision involved a total of four vehicles, including the Porsche and BMW mentioned earlier. The driver of the BMW, a 65-year-old man from Midhurst, suffered serious injuries and was rushed to the hospital, where he is currently in stable condition. It is believed that the Porsche may have also grazed another oncoming car before colliding with the BMW.
Local authorities have confirmed that the incident occurred on a stretch of road known for its high speeds. Residents in the area have reported that drivers often speed down the hill and become frustrated with the winding lanes. When they reach the long straight, they see it as an opportunity to overtake, leading to potential dangers on the road. This tragic accident serves as a reminder for drivers to always exercise caution and be mindful of their surroundings while on the road.
