BBC Source Article Wrong

[edit]

Reference 2 (at present), the article at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1848046.stm contains the text "Mr Fletcher had been driving along the B1188, a dead-end road leading to an industrial estate, when his van smashed through a brick wall and fell six metres (20 feet) onto the tracks." The B1188 is not a dead-end road and, looking at google maps, you can see that there is a dead-end road just to the East of the B1188, the other side of the railway tracks. It looks pretty likely that Mr Fletcher was actually on this other road, and left the road at (53.1553623,-0.4232737,331) where streetview shows that there is a wall as described. I will amend the article but thought I ought to put my justification here for other editors. Dichohecho (talk) 10:44, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
