Why are police blocking...

Re: Why are police blocking...
 

Road was closed earlier about 4.20 because of an accident

You know what was involved?

Re: Why are police blocking...

Hmmm ok cheers for the info

Re: Why are police blocking...
 

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.

Re: Why are police blocking...
 

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

Here's the answer

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.

Re: Why are police blocking...
 

I think it said in the paper he was only 100 yards away from a pelican crossing?? :confused: Not swearing on it, but I'm sure that is what it said.

Re: Why are police blocking...
 

There is a pelican crossing at Asda and one at the bottom of Owd Bobs he should have been using one of these. Can you imagine the reaction of drivers if they put another crossing on that stretch of road? The kids should use the crossings!!
