A RESIDENT living the scene of the fatal accident on Harrogate Road, Apperley Bridge, had told of hearing an explosion this morning.
Colleen O’Hara, of Waters Walk, a block of flats off Harrogate Road, said she and her partner heard the crash in which a female driver died.
She said she had just woken up when the incident happened.
She said: “Me and my partner heard the crash.
“It was just like an explosion. We didn’t know what to think at first.
“There were about eight police cars and a helicopter circling really quickly.
“I was only just awake when it happened, I didn’t know what to think at first.
“It’s horrendous, it’s heartbreaking.
“It’s known for it, bad crashes, this road.
“I do think it’s really scary crossing this road (Harrogate Road) as a pedestrian. Especially the crossroads at Greengates memorial.”
