Not a cyclist, but a whole family!

So sad, and it seems the mother had warned the council that this would happen.
One boy dead, five others in hospital.
18 year old has been arrested.

I seen this earlier but the little boy hadn't been reported dead
I felt sick when I read that she had said 3 weeks earlier that they would get 'wiped out' one morning as she walked her children along this road to school
I hope she and the others make a full recovery.
What a tragedy.

It's so sad and just a pity that they didn't listen to her.

Terrible thing.

Very sad. The worst thing is that it was entirely preventable.

One reason why you should always walk on the side of the road facing on coming traffic.

And one reason why should always look where you're going if you're behind the wheel of a car.

Its very sad. But Mr Cellophane has a valid point.

You have no chance whatsoever if you cannot see what is happening in front of you.

RIP.

Here is not the place to debate the circumstances. Both @Hip Priest and @mr_cellophane have valid points that deserve debate on another thread.

Hope the Council along with the driver are sued for £££££££ millions as they had been put on notice.

It is unfortunate that I have returned to this site after a considerable period of absence and the first two entries on this section of the site stems from the driving actions of two individuals below the age of twenty.

And people wonder why the under 20's pay so much for insurance.
