A crash that saw a car flipped on its side during the heatwave was not caused by the road surface, the council has said. Bristol City Council said it had not received any reports suggesting the road surface had any influence on the crash in Lockleaze last week.
A man was taken to hospital after a crash last Sunday (July 17) that flipped the car on its side. The driver collided with two parked vehicles on Dovercourt Road just before 3pm.
A Bristol City Council spokesperson said: “We have gritted Dovercourt Road to maintain the surface during the recent hot weather and continue to monitor roads that are vulnerable to the high temperatures.
