Sigh. Wrong. Again.

Following on from this post where the Highways Agency claimed there had been 'no recorded collisions' at the Tufton sliproad junction, they have now replied to MP Sir George Young that, er, actually there have been three. Sorry.

The accepted font of wisdom regarding crashes is the database held by the DfT called STATS19. While this isn't considered perfect, you'd think that two government agencies could get their act together.

They managed to find an extra crash involving two vehicles, lost one single-vehicle rollover crash completely and classed the other as 'minor', and found one that involved an animal (a comedy dog, perhaps?). You couldn't make it up. Unless that is what they did, of course.

Let's see what they come up with this time...
