A motorhome owner is angry after crashing into a car park barrier in Lancashire, England, due to its dark colour which he claims he couldn't see. Liam Dyson says the barrier was 'almost black' and 'blended into the brickwork' with no visible signage. He believes the lack of clear warning led to the crash, which ripped solar panels off his roof.
A motorhome owner is fuming at the local council after he ploughed into a carpark barrier due to it being painted 'almost black' - ripping solar panels off his roof. Liam Dyson was attempting to turn his van around in Rochdale Road Car Park , Bacup, Lancashire, during Storm Bert on November 23, when he crashed into a barrier that he hadn't even spotted.
Liam, from Rochdale, said: "I was going to Sowerby Bridge to pick up a TV. On the way to Bacup, I got a text cancelling the TV pick up because they had to go to work. I had to turn round, and instead of turning round on the main road, I saw a car park and I thought I could go in there, come out on the other side and I would be in the right direction to go back home.
"The only way you could know the height of that bar is by getting out and measuring it with a tape measure. Because there was nothing there which wouldn't have mattered because I couldn't see it anyway. Liam said: "I was left without that . And with putting a solar panel on the van you've got to drill into the roof. There were holes in the roof and the rain was coming down with Storm Bert. The panic was that I was going to have damp inside my house."
Liam said: "When I said in the video that I wasn't concentrating, I meant that I wasn't concentrating on a bar in the sky. I was concentrating on the road and the traffic coming towards me, to move into the car park. You keep your eyes on the road don't you? Not up in the air.
