A303 hedge 'acted like a steeplechase fence'

Two men were killed when a hedge acting like a “steeplechase fence” launched a car over the central barrier of a dual carriageway, an inquest heard this week.

The driver of the car, Aldershot man Ivor Lunn, lost control on the eastbound side of the A303 near Micheldever before hitting the hedge, which threw it over crash barriers directly into the path of an oncoming vehicle.
