Early this morning with the junction of Morning Lane....... Unfortunately it looked like the girl didn't survive :(

There was no other vehicles around (only an ambulance and police car)

fred · 27th September 2009

Shit, shit, no...

what details do you have? what makes you think she didn't survive?

DaveH · 27th September 2009

It was at about 4 this morning and there was a sheet over the body and a LOT of blood.

Knoydart · 27th September 2009

4am? Fucking hell. RIP.

fred · 27th September 2009

Dave, please post the exact location and description- of the bike, direction, etc.
aren't there roadworks going on at that junction at the moment?

31t®um · 27th September 2009

bad news.

DaveH · 27th September 2009

As I said in the first post. It was on Mare st with the junction of Morning Lane. North direction.

No description of bike as i was passing in a taxi and it was dark.

CYOA · 27th September 2009

:( About a minutes walk from me. I'll pop down and ask about

Pistanator · 27th September 2009

Shit! :-(

How do you know it was a girl if the sheet was over the body? Tell from the bike?

DaveH · 27th September 2009

My mate saw the girls clothing. (he was sat in the front)

DaveH · 27th September 2009

I really do hope I'm wrong about the fatality............. :(

alien · 27th September 2009

:-(

bad bad bad. crossing fingers and things.

Oliver Schick · 27th September 2009

Oh my God.

Let's wait for more or less official reports to come in.

That stretch suffers from speeding at night, and I hope it wasn't a hit-and-run.

Multi Grooves · 27th September 2009

^^late night speeders are just what I was thinking...

27th September 2009

here's hoping it wasn't as bad as it sounds.

Knoydart · 27th September 2009

I think you've got to be really, really careful on a fri or sat night, carefully picking your roads.

Sparrow · 27th September 2009

I went past there at about 10 this morning and there were no police fatal accident signs or anything. It would suck if there was another fatality on Morning Lane, there's already ghost bike about 100 metres further up opposite the Tescos car park.

fred · 27th September 2009

we should wait for confirmation.

Sparrow · 1st October 2009

Any news?

Skully · 1st October 2009

Only just seen this. Fingers crossed.

Greasy Slag · 1st October 2009

There have been 2 accidents - 2005 & 2006 - at that junction - the second being fatal both HGV

There was a accident there on the 28th - stolen car in a nasty crash. but no fatalities and no record of a cyclist involved. as yet!

tomasito · 1st October 2009

Shit. I missed this too. Hopefully the lack of a confirmation is good news...

crossing fingers.

DaveH · 1st October 2009

Someone else spotted it

Yes hopefully no news is good news...........

Oliver Schick · 2nd October 2009

Nothing in the Gazette yesterday, so hopefully it wasn't a fatality!

flxh · 3rd October 2009
