Ouch. That must have hurt.
Does anyone know what crashed up on the Rising Sun Island, Brownhills West, presumably on the night/morning of 23-24th February 2013?

The local rozzers don’t seem to know, either:

I took a look up there this afternoon, and a vehicle has clearly progressed down the A5 westwards, overshot the island and ended up on the grass having wiped out the chevron sign.
Anybody know the score? Was it a cop car, or something else entirely? If it was a police vehicle, that’s the second accident in a couple of weeks.
Anyone who can help, please comment here or BrownhillsBob at Googlemail dot com. Cheers.
[Edited 25th February 12:31am: I’ve had contact from an anonymous resident who’s pointed out that there were two accidents here, not one. At some point over the weekend, a car ended up on the island, as I speculated. It was not a police vehicle. What happened there is not known in any detail.
However, on Sunday Morning, a Police vehicle was in collision with a car doing a sudden U-turn agains it without warning. There were, thankfully, apparently only minor injuries. The resident said the fault clearly lay with the U-turning driver, not the police vehicle].
I’m not sure how this happens, but the damage is clearly fresh.
