Firefighters and paramedics rushed to the roundabout at the junction of Papyrus Road and David's Lane in Werrington, Peterborough, after shocked witnesses called 999 at 9.10am today.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family of the driver. It's terrible to lose someone especially this close to Christmas. The Occupants of the flat may not be feeling lucky right now, but it could have been so much worse.

It is always sad to hear of another loss of life so close to Christmas, We use this stretch of road everyday. When travelling home from the city we turn right on the roundabout and I cannot count the number of near misses we have had by people approuching the roundabout at great speed and cutting across the fromt of us or having to break hard to avoid us. Maybe the council needs to look at this junction and find a way to slow drivers down when approuching from the south.

We passed this horrific accident 5 - 10 mins after it had happened and before the road was closed. It was a big shock, we first saw a car bumper on the verge then started to look for the damaged car only to find it embedded into the first floor flat, it was horrifiying, my thoughts are with the family he has left behind.
