Second accident on same spot on the A52 in 24 hours

Hello, and welcome to the Notts TV Debate, I’m Richard Spurr. As always we’ll tackle the big topics of the week, and there’s plenty to go at from Nottinghamshire and from the nation’s news. So, doing battle tonight. Michael McKeever a former Head teacher at Trinity School, Gillian Hibbert at Brewin Dolphin and Investment specialist. Stephanie Sirr, Chief Executive at Nottingham Playhouse. Scott Bennett - a Comedian. Jeremy Corbyn is now the undisputed leader of the Labour party after beating off the challenge of Owen Smith. But Mr Corbyn's victory in the members' vote has led to widespread debate about the future of the party. Many MPs, including some from Notts, have openly said they don't think he has what it takes to win widespread public support. Former Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls even said it was possible the party would never win power again because of the result. So how can Labour return to power?

One lane was closed while the injured rider was treated at the scene before being taken to hospital.

One lane of the A52 heading east out of Notttingham was closed after the second accident on the same spot within 24 hours.

One of the two eastbound lanes close to the Gamston Lock roundabout was shut just after 3.20pm on Saturday.

The incident involved a motorcycle and the rider was seen lying injured by the carriageway before being taken to hospital by ambulance.

Notts Police said he suffered minor injuries and no other vehicles were involved.

Queues built up approaching the roundabout creating long delays until the scene was cleared at just after 4pm.

It followed another crash on almost exactly the same spot of the road on Friday afternoon involving a car.

This incident also closed part of the road while debris was cleared.

Emergency services reported several other minor accidents on Saturday after thunderstorms and heavy rain covered roads with standing water.
