Minibus has hit a pedestrian apparently

really? Just been past it. Few cars involved but everyone seemed to be ok and none of the cars were in a bad way.

Looked to be a nasty crash back end of last week too. Flowers at the scene now

On the Westbound carriageway, there is a bus stop.
I remember an old lady getting knocked down there when she got off the bus, and was crossing the road to go to the cottages there at "Over the Hill Farm" - She survived like.
The speed limit is 50 m.p.h. up the cut and along that road - but crossing there on foot is dodgy as fuck as drivers still hoof it along there.

Bus stops on either side - and an underpass to 'cross' the road. Only an idiot would cross there (I admit to having being one in my youth).

No underpass where I am talking about marra.
A gap in the central reservation for cars to cross, that's about it.
It's the bus stop heading towards Houghton from Stoneygate -right opposite the row of farm buildings and just before the top of the cut.
