East or West Rainton?

Sounds like a really bad accident. It's at the same junction an elderly woman was killed at a few years back.

It's an awful road because loads of bellends think it's ok to do 75 on it

East or West Rainton?

Think the accident happened with someone turning into East Rainton from the eastbound carriageway

Near the petrol station apparently, and road reopened according to Durham Constabulary Facebook.

You know what I mean, Facebooks not awful, its the twats that use it

Back in the day, pre 50mph days, people would be doing 90 along that road. It genuinely was a death trap back then, there were some horrendous accidents near the junctions for East & West Rainton.

Lights at the worst junction and still an accident?

I was one of the first to an accident near where the Shell garage is now where someone had attempted to cross the carriageway and got it wrong. 2 grandparents, 3 grandkids in the back. I'll never forget it, absolutely horrific.

How horrific for you. I think I remember that as I was in Sunderland that day, I think it was around 1996.
They closed down the junction after that so you had to go to the motorway junction and come back on yourself.

Car v motorcycle.

 

[Roker Rick]

Why don't they open it?

My cousin's lads family that, f***ing horrible one was a very young kid too. Horrible, dairy lane leading to front street with the garage at the side im absolutely amazed there isn't more accidents people fly up and down there and with cars parked both sides and gridlock with people in and out the garage it's such a hazardous road.

Motorcycle.

I drove passed a minute or so before it happened. A motorcyclist was in a bad way on the central reservation. There were 3 or 4 people around him. No paramedics there at the time.

 

[Mr Miggins]

The road was open again before 8pm so no fatalities thankfully.

None of your post correct. Love speculation

Why don't they open it?

It was open by the time the post was made
