It was reported locally, and they put up flowers and all that stuff. That really bummed me out. Didn't know him, and had never heard of him before, so it was completely irrational of me. I think it was because I always associated that road with good feelings. You don't want cold hard reality to intrude into your happy place. You do tend to get a lot of these reports at this time of the year, though. There will be more as the weather worsens. |
People die all the time, I watched a friend get torn into pieces after a van and car were playing cat and mouse and brake checking each other and van overtook, went into my friend head on at 40+.
He died instantly, perhaps I am not affected like most, I was truly gutted and upset but sometimes life rolls the dice and you don't roll the win. Can't live in fear though, you'll never do anything. |

I think the whole “there but for the grace of God go I” feeling can have an especially powerful effect.
People die all over the world every day in all kinds of horrible ways and it means nothing to me. I mean I have as much empathy as the next arsehole, but meh… However when someone dies doing something you do, where you do it… …that hits home. ____________________ 2007 CBF1000-ABS - Commuter heaven | 1994 CBR600FR - Awaiting defibrillation |

We are appealing for witnesses and information following a fatal road traffic collision in the Marchwood area.
Officers were called just after 6.15am this morning (6 October), following reports of a three vehicle collision on the Marchwood Bypass in Totton.
A blue Mercedes Sprinter van was invo0lved in a collision with a black Honda motorcycle and a white Yamaha motorcycle on the A326 Bypass.
The drivers of both the motorcycles, a 38-year-old man from Gosport and a 49-year-old man from Southampton, sadly died at the scene.
Their next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers at this time.
A road closure has been put in place on the A326 Marchwood Bypass in both directions while officers begin to investigate the exact circumstances of the incident.
We are keen to hear from anyone who may have been in the area at the time and saw what happened, or saw the three vehicles driving in the area prior to the collision.
In addition, if you have dash cam footage of the vehicles and/or the collision, please call us.
Any information you have, no matter how insignificant you feel it might be, could help aid our investigation.
Anyone with information is asked to call 101, quoting reference number 44210400737.
