Car Crash near Brookland

On the A259 between Rye & Brookland

Any one else noticed this wrecked car tucked under the trees on the corner at the western end of the Brookland straight? Looks to have been there a few days but have seen no press or police reports about it.

The accident appears to have taken place at almost the exact spot as a similar accident on 31 October 2014.

The wrecked car is off the road with police tape and some of the damage to road furniture already repaired.
