E-Scooter discussion after fatal collision

Hi all,

As per the title really, Emily Hartridge was killed when her electric scooter was hit by a lorry in Battersea on Friday morning - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-48973968

I'd watched her youtube content for a few years and she's definitely had her ups and down with becoming a TV presenter to battling depression but her "10 reasons why..." videos were always a favourite of mine so I've left my favourite video below.

That video and post won't last long here.

It's one of the weird strange things of modern living, that someone passes away and we have the ability to go back and watch their most recent video, 5 days ago. We can watch them speak freely about any subject for them to not know what is around the corner and that life will become death.

RIP

No shade on the OP but there's something very weird about watching a recent video where that person is now dead.

Every Monday, I take a wry look at the top 10 reasons why... a weekly vlogging show that proves that everything in the world can be explained with 10 reasons

Shame she's no longer around to explain why she was breaking the law by riding an escooter on public roads

Having watched that video, I find myself wondering if the police have considered the possibility it wasn't an accident!

It was only three days ago that she was tweeting in hopeful fashion about having children at some point

Yeah she'd recently sorted herself a decent boyfriend, got her depression issues under control, looked at starting a family etc. Such a shame!

This is completely irrelevant, well done on the crap post of the year.

Yes so true. It drives home how fragile our existence can be.

Hardly the crapest post of the year, a pedestrian killed in an accident.

Sad , yes, but who was she outside a very small circle of You-Tube viewers ?

Worth a thread , no.

Well she's currently on the main page of the BBC News website and it is the number 1 read article so she might be better well known than you thought.

I think you misunderstand, I wasn't referring to the thread but the post saying she was breaking the law. It is indeed very sad she is dead.

She had more than 340,000 YouTube subscribers to her channel

Not really. Since doing it was her cause of death.

But it's not on the front page of the BBC and the most read news article so you really need to try again. (I won't bother)

Boobs are AWESOME......unless they're on a cadaver.

Well watch as this thread falls into the realms of the forgotten.
