Woodmere Avenue's notorious width restriction has claimed many a victim over the years and has become an infamous part of Watford's recent history.
While a 2022 redesign of the layout has meant fewer crashes than once occurred, this month has seen another crash at the hotspot, which led to local and national media attention.
