Driver Escapes Injury After Car Rolls Over in Seaview Gardens Accident

A 28-year-old driver, Azrel Chambers, flipped his car on Chesterfield Drive after failing to navigate a corner due to a pothole. He suffered minor injuries, and the car was extensively damaged, prompting police to suggest that speeding was a factor in the accident.

A car accident early Saturday morning on Chesterfield Drive in Seaview Gardens left a 28-year-old man, Azrel Chambers, with minor injuries. His 2011 Subaru Impreza, after running off the road, ended up flipped on its roof among bushes just before 7 a.m. The car sustained significant damage and was ultimately towed away by a wrecker.

Chambers, who was driving from the direction of Marcus Garvey Drive, admitted he wasn’t familiar with the area. He explained that while trying to avoid a large pothole located right at the bend in the road, he lost control. This pothole has been a topic of concern among local residents and motorists, as it has caused multiple issues over recent months.

According to reports from police and an eyewitness, the combination of speeding and the driver’s unfamiliarity with the road was likely factors in the crash. The driver was reportedly going too fast to safely navigate the turn, especially given the poor roadway conditions.

In summary, a young driver narrowly avoided serious injuries after crashing his vehicle into bushes in Seaview Gardens. The accident was attributed to a combination of excessive speed and lack of knowledge about the road, exacerbated by a dangerous pothole that has gone unaddressed for some time. This incident raises concerns about road maintenance and driver safety in the area.
