Was looking at it today, 2 fatals in the time period

Alas there was a 73 yr old cyclist killed @ 3 weeks ago by a 74 yr old in his Espace

not really reliable info there according to that someone has died in the middle of our local river outlet (the wash) in a car accident ?? the mouth is about 4 miles wide i think. So i am not sure how much of a run up you would need to jump that far into the sea

i think the reason some are missing is that the coroner hasn't finished with the case, and someof these cases can run for years, or because the police filled the forms in wrong.........

i looked at some of the sub sections & noticed that most of the truck related ones involved a truck killing another road user!!!!

To be fair, 1850 people isnt may, 10x that commit suicide every year.

love the wonky facts... Accident Time 12:30am, Weather Sunny..... in Finland were they?
or snow in august.

propaganda ahoy.
MRSA's peak killing spree was nearly the same as the annual deaths on our roads.
