Skip ahead to 13:40 or so. This is just before reaching the interchange (14:05) where the accident occured:

The accident occured just to the right of the Sandilands stop.

Uh oh, don't let Canard see the speed limit sign for that.

The curve is actually rated for 20 km/h!  They would have just said "12 mph" in the news because they converted it from metric, because the UK is still all hodge-podge when it comes to units.
