  2. a guy in my club lost his leg above the knee in june, i'm not sure of the details

    i was out yesterday, i dont hang about, a group on sports bikes came flying past me, some with pillions, country lanes are just so unpredictable, any thing can come round the corner, at any speed, slightly on the wrong side, at any time

  3. I find it hard to understand how 4 people in a car all died in an accident with a motorcycle. Did it catch fire?
     
    • Agree Agree x 1
  4. The news reported earlier how tragic it was for the 4 in the car and the fundme thing for the remaining child. But no mention of the two bikers that died or their family

  5. I read about this today. Very close to me, I know the road. I saw some drone footage of the aftermath. The bike has clearly hit the car with some serious energy. Tragic…
     
  6. Bikers are evil. Everyone knows that…

    It’ll all come out. But looking at the carnage there was significant speed involved. Which in all likelihood, was the bike…
     
  7. Maybe because there's no orphaned 11 year old ? But we don't know for sure
     
  8. yes, The car caught fire and looked to be engulfed. There was substantial collision damage to the offside/driver side front of the Ford Focus.
     
  9. Threads moved and merged
     
  10. Hmmm, I guess the bikes fuel tank flashed off and engulfed the car… grim… o_O
     
  11. I understand that people might be offended looking at how the news is breaking in such a selective manner, but the thoughts of how two children suffered in the rear of that car are the ones that i am struggling to remove above all.

  12. The article I read stated, "The man and woman on the motorbike also died at the scene, but police are not yet in a position to name them, a force spokesperson said."

  13. Rumour has it the bike was on the wrong side of the road.

    I know that road well. It’s very possible that was the case :(

  14. Not nice to read speculation on a public forum when 6 people have died imho.
     
    • Agree Agree x 5
  15. This is absolutely tragic. I really, really hope this isn’t another case of a vehicle crashing after avoiding a pothole, as the couple on the bike don’t seem like the sort of people to be thrashing through the countryside like lunatics.

    My thoughts are with all of the families involved.

  16. Thoughts to all involved.

    I know the road and I’m pretty sure it’s happened outside the golf course. I’m struggling to understand how a car and bike have a head on, unless there was an overtake.

  17. it is a difficult one, a third vehicle would explain things far more easily. Hopefully an accurate conclusion will follow.
