A Burnham-On-Sea motorist had a lucky escape when his car skidded off a road and into a ditch, making it the third accident at the same spot in just a year.
Police tape still marked the spot on Monday, pictured, where a Peugeot 306 ended up on its side along Stoddens Lane after the accident at 6pm on Friday.
“Fortunately, the motorist escaped from the car uninjured and just complained off having a minor back ache,” police spokesman Darren Bane told Burnham-On-Sea.com.
The road was not closed during the accident, but officers diverted traffic around the scene. The damaged vehicle was pulled out of the ditch by a recovery team just after 8pm.
It is the third accident at the same blackspot in the last year and is certain to prompt calls for the introduction of better road barriers and safety improvements.
Burnham-On-Sea.com reported on an identical accident at the bend last December and another in June, pictured here, when a lady and young boy scrambled out of their car.
