Six car pile-up on the Haslingden Bypass on Saturday morning, seven injured and traffic chaos. Well I don't know about you but every weather forecast I saw on Friday evening said it would be a horribly cold night followed by early morning rain. Just the recipe for road disasters as far as I am concerned and so it transpired.

Some drivers say that the bypass had not been gritted and if that is so then the usual questions need to be asked yet again.

Nice to know things don't change and we are never prepared for winter in this country.
