Frontera in Wiltshire collision by Big Dav on Mon Jan 31, 2011 1:39 am
BBC South news reporting a head-on between Frontera and a Mazda in Salisbury(?) area tea-time on Sat 29th. Anyone from here, and are they OK?

Thats the only photo of the wreckage I've seen, absoutely frightening. Don't know the stretch of road but is that reflections or a double-white line in place? Not that that matters for those affected.

Its an LWB Series A in Nautilus Pearl by the looks of it. Also looks like the rear doors of the Frontera have been removed. Not good. Here is hoping all of those involved are ok in the long term.

Hmmm...
I know that road, it's the A30 out of Salisbury, towards the Wallops, etc. Not a bad road, but not one to contemplate silly overtaking maneuvers on. All the best to those concerned. Not a lot of consolation, but I hope this was a tragic accident, rather than the result of a suicidal overtaking play by the Mazda.
