EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a chilling scene from history, depicting the aftermath of a car crash amidst a snowy landscape on the by-pass near Chichester. Dated 15th January 1963, this image serves as a stark reminder of the unpredictable nature of winter weather and its potential hazards on our roads. The wreckage is strewn across the frame, showcasing an old car that has fallen victim to this unfortunate accident. Its dented exterior tells tales of impact and destruction, while snow blankets every surface like a serene white shroud. The juxtaposition between the beauty of winter and the chaos caused by this collision creates an eerie atmosphere within this frozen moment in time. Intriguingly, standing nearby is a barn that seems untouched by both time and incident. It stands tall against the wintry backdrop, providing an interesting contrast to the battered vehicle before it. This photograph not only documents an accident but also encapsulates elements associated with Christmas - snow-covered landscapes evoking memories of festive seasons past. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's archives under reference number CPS1602, this print serves as more than just documentation; it invites us to reflect upon road safety during adverse weather conditions throughout history. As we gaze at these remnants from over half a century ago, may they remind us to exercise caution when venturing out onto icy roads and serve as a testament to human resilience in times of adversity.
