    Bad news but a more and more frequent story nowadays. Some kid on a scooter cut a bend and crashed head on into a range rover! Needless to say he died at the scene, 17 years old! His mate had a new scooter the next week

    ok folks, now for an important piece of info. the A5 where this happened is a dead straight piece of road, with approx 1mile visibility in either direction. vehicles bear down on the junction at the speed limit (or above) it is well known that you need a decent gap & serious acceleration to get out. in fact, a lot of people avoid it & go 2 miles round to the next roundabout when it is busy. but, there really haven't been many bumps there.. so these idiots really were doing something mindless...

    Are you on drugs or summat??
    Logic for what??
    They made a mistake and paid the ultimate price,doesnt mean to say it was deserved.
    If it was their own fault that much then how comes baxter and moreso his pal were so in bits over it?? surely they would have just said,"meh-their own fault-lets go for a few pints anyroad.."
    Again,so if somebody rides a bicycle at night with no lights-do they deserve to die??

    Theres fukkin worse people in this world than 2 young lads without lids on a bike ffs

    nobody deserves to die on the roads, but some people really don't go out of their way to avoid it..

    No I'm not on drugs. So you can get the fecking idea right out of your damned head.

    I'm sorry but if you want to play on what appears to be a busy road with no protection screwing round etc, then you are asking for trouble. Yes they paid the ultimate price, but it's morons like them that ruin the general image for everyone else. Ok I admit maybe I was a bit harsh implying they deserved to die for it, but what else do you expect?? It was their own fault. Due to their stupid actions and complete irresponsibilty they have ruined someone's mental health. I know for a fact I'd be messed up if it was me that hit them, but what would help me to sleep at night was the fact that it wasn't my fault and had they not been complete muppets they would've got off with maybe a broken bone or two.

    As the saying goes, you play with fire, you get burnt. I have virtually no sympathy for those who did die, just the guy who hit them, and the families that have been left behind.

    i agree Andy. yes they were being complete idiots, but nobody deserves to lose their life for something like that. must be awful for everyone concerned though and i feel for them all. my dads old boss had a bad smash a few years ago, he was trapped in his car for over an hour, with a dead guy on his windscreen. still has regular councelling sessions now
