So What Happened Here?

Like I was saying a day or two back, accidents happen often but are rarely witnessed by any single individual. This must have happened some time between 17:30 on Thursday and 11:30 Friday morning. The skid marks in the bus lay by are not the only ones, there are others in the roadway as well so I suspect boy racers, who these days can be any age and more often either sex, were involved. Or maybe a bit of road rage. This section of road has a 30 mph speed limit but I have at times been overtaken here by cars doing at least 60 mph.

My guess is a car came up behind stationary vehicles, the driver stood on the brakes and slid into the bus stop. The second set of skid marks fade, so could be that same car pulling away again.
Looks like somebody was turning right, also.

Only difference between here and NZ is that you can legally drive at 15 over there!!
I've been there and I would say it makes driving there bl**dy dangerous.
