When I was coming off the motorway at that time there was an ambulance with police escort going on the slip road towards Blackburn, presumably from the accident.

Traffic has been really slow moving on Eagle Street probably a result of this!!!!

I have often seen young people jump the roadside railings and 'play chicken' across that road - senselessly stupid - perhaps fewer will do it when word of this lad's plight gets around. I am sorry for the driver who will have shock and a damaged car - no sympathy for the boy.

Tend to agree with that Margaret they should have more sense at that age. I also feel sorry for the driver.

Re: Why are police blocking...
 

If i was the driver id be sueing for damage to my car! As before no sympathy for the little git!

Re: Why are police blocking...
 

but stupid thing is they know that there's kids crossin there - the council and police that is. even when i was a kid comin down from moorhead i would cross the road nad jump the railings. its what kids do. there shud b some sort of pelican crossing at least or a traffic island.

but yeah the kid deserved it he's a plank anyway.
