Very nice shot DA.    Appears the truck is the issue.  Did he park illegally or is he broken down?  In any case that would create an issue in the roundabout.

The truck was picking up the white van that had crashed or broken down,  not sure which as there was a lot of broken plastic in the road but I didnt spot any damage so that could have been from something else.

Okay, that clears up what I was imagining.  

I absolutely hate roundabouts, and they seem to be making new ones all over Louisiana.  

Oh yes, the next split second might be moment of truth! (edited)

it does look like the silver car is about to get swiped though.

I always thought there were very few roundabouts in the USA.

We had a few here 30+ years ago, but they were just about all removed.  In the past 2-3 years they have started building them again.

Have you got it back then?

Blériot53 Posted at 10-25 01:31

No,    its currently being repaired.    Confused?

DAFlys Posted at 10-25 01:33

Yes. They're asking for a favourable report even before they send it back?  That's a bit previous

DAFlys Posted at 10-24 04:54

It sure does.  Hope that didn't happen though.

I think I understand what happened,    when the parcel appeared to get stuck in customs I emailed DJI for assistance,  it was that email they were following up on.

Its now been shipped back today.  So we will see how long it takes to get back.

No it didnt happen.

Walking sure does have its benefits

I walk most days and usually at lest 10 miles.  

DAFlys Posted at 10-25 03:39
No it didnt happen.

Phew, that's good to hear.

DowntownRDB Posted at 10-26 02:51
Phew, that's good to hear.

But there was a lot of broken plastic in the road there later so I wonder if there was a coming together by someone else.

Does sound like the residue from a crash.  Could have been from a previous crash or a later crash.  Guess you just never know.  

Usually roundabouts work okay, even if I would usually prefer traditional intersections. However, when something like this happens in these...

Fun story,   see where it says No Entry,   I walking out of there very early one mornings. about 5:30am nd 5 horses with two riders came up to that roundabout and turned up the no entry road,   I had to leap out of the way,  I was not impressed.

I see why not. Sure looks like being a bit oblivious there could cause quite the chaos, just like in your case or like in this picture.

The No Entry was a new road layout,  well I say New,   it was 3 years ago but the New signs are still up.

Oops.  But how you find these shots is beyond me.
