Advice on car accident please
Hi
I would really appreciate peoples advice on this matter. Thanks.
A vehicle ( Vehicle X) was on a dual carriage way (40mph) behind it was 3 other vehicles. This vehicle was on the outside lane (right hand lane) and then decided to break so sharply to turn left!!! The road it wished to eenter was soo tight, and had a width restriction, and there was a speed camera at this location. After breaking this vehicle realised that there was another car on the left lane blocking the entrance to this side road, and so couldnt turn left. But by this time the 3 vehicles behind this vehicle collided. No damage happened to this vehicle and ran away leaving the other 3 damaged.
The vehicle behind Vehicle X (2nd car) got damaged from behind, because the vehicle behind it (3rd car) hit it. Then the car behind vehicle 3 hit the rear of vehicle 3. Not much damage occured to vehicle 3 from behind. But a large amount of damage occured to the front of vehicle 4.
This all happened because the first vehicle braked sooo sharply, imagine a road that is 40 on a Right hand lane and he wanted to turn left EXACTLY where this little side road was.
I want to know is vehicle 4 at fault? Which vehicles are at fault?
Enough breaking distance was left between vehicle 3 and vehicle 4 behind it but since the level of breaking was soo severe this occured. As I said vehicle 1 ran away, but was chased by another vehicle who witnessed them driving in a reckless manner further along and nearly caused at least 2 more accidents. Also, they got a number plate for the car, and the colour thats all. It was suggested they dont have a licence, but no one knows obviously. Also, checked VRM seems no insurance possible aswell.
Please your help is much appreciated as this has caused a great deal of stress. Thanks and any advice appreciated and what procedure to follow....Thanks so much people.
