Forum topic: A406 crash causes damage to PG dental surgery

A dental surgery in Palmers Green has been forced to suspend operations after a collision yesterday evening between two drivers resulting in a car crashing into the building.

N13 Dental Practice is located at the corner of Powys Lane and Bowes Road/North Circular Road.

Palmers Green Community was this morning contacted from the practice by Dr Pegah Ziahosseini, with the following message:

Last night a white Audi plunged into the wall of our practice. We had to drive to practice in midnight to assess the damage. Unfortunately we have severe damage to the practice property and items which makes us unable to carry on working.

Accident in the corner of Powys lane and Bowes Road is not an unusual scene. Unfortunately there is no working camera around the area, no speed limit and the junction has become more dangerous by dangerous driving.

The Enfield Independent website has more detail about the incident:

A London Fire Brigade spokesperson said: “Firefighters were called to a road traffic collision on Bowes Road in Southgate.

"Two cars were in collision with each other, with one of the vehicles also striking a building. A woman was treated on scene by London Ambulance Service.

"The brigade was called at 11.05pm and the incident was over for firefighters at 11.26pm. Two fire engines and one fire and rescue unit from Southgate, Finchley and Edmonton Fire Station attended the scene.”

The same report quotes Dr Ziahosseini as saying that she was launching a campaign to make the area safer, claiming the crossing is "very unsafe for cars".

"Damage happens but what would have happened if a pedestrian was walking there when it happened?"

There is also footage on Twitter, uploaded by @Ediz1975, filmed at the time the fire brigade attended the crash scene.
