R.I.P
 

A tragic accident happened today in Accrington when a lady was run over by a bus in Accrington Bus Station and unfortunately died, IM sure I  speak for all of us on here when are thoughts and prayers are with the family at this tragic time

Re: R.I.P
 

well said ruud, heard about it on radio lancashire 5pm. It's very sad to hear.

Re: R.I.P
 

It was going to happen sometime that bus station is a mess

Re: R.I.P
 

your right mick it has not been safe for ages now the busses just come flying into the station and dont care who or whats in the way

Re: R.I.P
 

I heard on Rock FM this morning that it was a double decker bus, not your ordinary mini or single decker.  You would think they would have MORE care with a BIGGER bus.  But i agree with happyone and Mik, that bus station is a complete mess.

My thoughts and prayers are with the ladies family too.

Re: R.I.P
 

Can anyone give me the name of the family concerned?

Re: R.I.P
 

Condolences to this ladies family.
Don't  think we should be putting any names here as it wouldn't be appropriate, but will message you Jo.

Re: R.I.P
 

This was a tragedy waiting to happen and my thoughts go out to this lady's family, the state of our bus station is appalling.

Re: R.I.P
 

Its really sad what has happened, i heard it on the radio about 6.30 pm, thing is though it will only be a matter of time before a taxi knocks somebody over and hurts them, has anybody noticed them racing round to get to a £2 job ?

A tragady waiting to happen.
The family are in all our thoughts.
I have just one word for the council people.
Bollards.
Back to to stones and statues. They pay all that money for a stupid things to be errected in the middle of roads and towns but make a song and dance about paying good money to make a bus station that is safe.

Re: R.I.P
 

now someone has been killed the council will DO something about it. allways the case, do nothing untill something happens. Typical councillors for you.

Re: R.I.P
 

i agree with all it is a tragedy, an accident waiting to happen. and bordercollie is right about the taxis, and as mentioned before on accy web the padestrian area outside townhall is like a race track, unless police and councill clamp down i feel there is potential for more tragedies.  my deepest sympathy is with the ladies family...

Re: R.I.P
 

a very tragic accident and my thoughts and prayers go to the family and friends of this lady.
