Who has died near you?

Three near me, all pedestrians. Hard not to comment on their mental capabilities when there is an a perfectly safe underpass right next to where they got hit.

This is quite interesting, it shows a collision map, but also how developed the road network in the UK is.

I never really thought about car accidents until a friend of mine died a few years ago.

Puts it all into perspective.

The only people around my age from school that I know to have died are all from traffic accidents

The young chap was my Boss at a local BP fuel Station when i was 16-17. He got hit by a drunk driver mounting the kerb at high speed and he was left to bleed to death at the side of the road. I and a few other colleages found him covered in blood, blood all over the wall, everywhere

Might also add that the driver hung himself the next day up our local industrial estate.

RIP Phil Grice.

:/ That's a lot more than I expected.

Morbid but interesting. Remember a few of the ones around my area as a kid, especially one involving a lady and a cement truck. Not pretty.

Always kind of amazes me how many fatalities can occur on roads with a 30 limit, as it seems like nothing when you're behind the wheel.

26 October 1999

A pedestrian, a teenage boy aged 14, died.

Well, that one's accurate, won't ever forget him

My dad's GF was killed on a road on the way to work (hit and run) the day after Valentines Day this year, that's one i know...

Most of the cycle deaths near me were pensioners :confused:

Yep, it's accurate near me. I know of 2 accidents and they are both on the chart.

Why, they're all busy roads in a very busy city?

Dr.EM · 5 Dec 2011 at 17:53

Nothing immediately near here, but a junction not too far has one incident. I knew before clicking the details that it'd be a pedestrian killed, very dangerous junction to try to cross.

Monkeymatt · 5 Dec 2011 at 17:54

No accidents in my village although three fairly large roads form a triangle around the village and there has been a decent amount of accidents on them. Seems if I never leave my village for the rest of my life I'll be safe!

ng93 · 5 Dec 2011 at 18:18

Theres been a few, but not suprised considering its been going from 1999. I think there was another a month or so ago too. A fair few of those are bikers on b roads.

My sister's friend is one of the unfortunate ones from this area. Died after her boyfriend decided he was better at driving a car than he actually was. Doing 70MPH on a twisty forest B-road and lost control. Turned his Golf into the shape of a tree killing my sisters friend in the process.
