Re: Rip

Sorry to hear about this. A guy back when I was doing my A-Levels 5 or 6 years ago got killed in a car crash while driving home from collecting his results. It really does happen far too often. RIP.

I passed when this crash had seemingly just happened. 11.30pm.

Saw a gang of lads holding mobile phones, and looking concerned. Various parked cars, and one vehicle off road, down a ditch.

Passed again this morning, empty bottles everywhere. Also flowers, and a police sign asking for witnesses to the collision.

I drove past where the crash was a few hours ago. There are flowers on the floor where it happened.

My thoughts are with his family and friends at this sad time.
 
Re: Rip

R.I.P.

Not saying that it was in this incident but too many young drivers are impressed by shows like Top Gear promoting fast cars and speed as cool....look at Hamster to see what speed really does.

I was involved in a RTA earlier this year when a 4 year old kid bounced off a car bonnet 20ft in the air.............and he lived thank fook. I was in a works van when he ran out in front of me on Blackpool Rd near Springys and the car to my right hit him. Its the worst thing i've ever been through. I though he was dead. In this case,the driver was doing 30.

But Rick,i'm deeply sorry for you and your friends. What a waste. 😡
 
Re: Rip

My thoughts are with all his family and friends. RIP.

I went on a days 'Drive Survive' course last year whilst doing My College Course (Public Services) and it showed in detail what the consequences are of various different road accidents and its not nice, When it finished and we got back on our minibus, everyone had their seatbelts on and the driver obeyed all the speed limits on the way home, it just made me think that more young people need to go on courses like this, it should become a national thing.
 
Re: Rip

RIP, condolences to the young mans family and friends.

I agree with Pornstar, to many programmes are glorifying speed.
 
Re: Rip

I don't know anything about this lads tragic death and offer my sincere condolences but too many kids are being killed and mamed on our roads !

There is a culture of speed and power among young lads achieved through modifying cars that wasn't really an option a few years ago. At their age many are learning as they go. Combine this with shows like Top Gear with its "laddish fun" attitude to speed and risk taking and you have a recipe for disaster.

I was talking to a A&E consultant and he said this problem is definately getting worse.

I agree Sliper,its far too easy for a young lad or lass to go out and buy a new car on finance nowadays. My first car was Morris Minor Traveller. It wouldn't do more than 30 MPH. Honestly.
But my thoughts are with the family of this poor lad.

RIP Mike... 🙁

Sorry to hear about this Rick.. He was a sound guy..
 
Re: Rip

Tributes from his family and friends have been laid on Golden Way where the accident happened. Grieving staff and students have set up a shrine at Cardinal Newman College and the Deputy Head and Headmaster of All Hallows have been paying tribute to the "lovely lad".

I found it really sad reading this up-to-date article in the LEP.
