Thick
fog hampers visibility as Burnham
pedestrian
is injured in accident
Carnival
traffic coming into Burnham was being held up on Monday evening
(November 6th) after an accident in
thick fog along the Berrow
Road, pictured here.
A
man was taken to hospital with back injuries after being struck
by a vehicle near the Warren Guest House at 5.30pm.
An
eyewitness told Burnham-On-Sea.com that a man had been lifted
into a waiting ambulance on a spinal board, although police said
his injuries were not believed to be serious.
Paramedics
and police from Burnham-On-Sea were quickly on the scene. Visibility
in the area was very poor due to thick fog.
Police
expected traffic to be flowing again by 6.20pm; thereby reducing
any major hold-ups for carnival traffic coming into the town from
Berrow.
