Tragic waste of life, 2 19 yr olds dead

.

However it has not yet been determined if the weather was contributory.

Yesterday the Third death in as many days in Yorkshire. Some poor lady gone in to the lake at Pontefract Park. It seems so sad and so needless.

Yes, poor bugger. He is uninjured and when you see the pics the Royal Mail wagon is on the corect side of the road and the corsa is across in front of it. He will have seen the lot.

That was at 6 tonight,the conclusion may have changed by now,

and sadly in Guisbrough today an elderly gentleman died when he crashed into a wall. theyve got loads of snow but the investigation determined the weather was not to blame.

Absolutely no comment on those poor sods today but Ive seen more RTCs that have occured in bad weather and are entirely down to driver error as opposed to the weather, I can think of loads where they would have happened whatever the weather
