THREE fire tenders (one from Colchester) for a minor road accident in Clacton, overkill again by ECFRS !!! What a waste of resources. [bold]bold[/bold]

I do hope this woman driver is ok.
we have seen a simular car driven by an "elderly" woman driver who drove quite fast around town.
not seen her for a day or two though.

More worrying so that the fire station is only about a quarter of a mile down the same road as the crash!
Bit concerning too that there are alot of children of all ages who walk this route to and from school.
Thankfully the accident took place when schools hadnt finished or this might have been worse.
How she can crash in an area approaching a mini roundabout I dont think we need to guess.
I hope they throw the book at her.
