Old Coast Road blocked last Sunday
 

Was driving back from Margaret River last Sunday between 4 and 5pm along the Old Coast Road when we hit a traffic jam. After 30 minutes crawling along at 2kmph we get to two policemen who directed us to the other side of the road to head south. No signage, no verbal directions, nadda. So I hit the 'detour' button on the Garmin gps and follow a stream of very annoyed drivers to Johnston Road to join the South Western Highway back to Perth. The Garmin actually took me along a different route altogether and our friends in another car suggested that we follow them as we were obviously going the long/wrong way. Anyway, by the time we had eaten and unpacked it was too late to check out the local news so does anyone know what happened to that stretch of road?

Took me 12.1 seconds to google that.

Took me 12.1 minutes to start this thread. Never heard of Myalup and never want to.

Still can't see the reason for closing off the north and southbound sections of the road for a single car accident.

Must have been Bin Laden.

I'm going for an angry wank.

Dam garmins!

I'm sure the woman in intensive care & her family are extremely sorry for inconveniencing your journey. :rolleyes:

"Stream of extremely annoyed drivers"....Seriously mate have a heart, would you say the same thing if it was one of your family members being cut out of the wreck??


Dildo's...Some people have an uncanny likeness to them.

FUKN LOL!

I agree with Rossco though... have a bit of empathy.

Oh come on I have the utmost sympathy for the driver and I hope she recovers from the accident. The reality was that everyone was annoyed because of the lack of information and delay caused. Any hostility I may have shown was directed at the police.
