I once witnessed a helicopter land on Heys field.
Then taxis and cars arrived with people who were dressed in wedding attire.
The bride and groom got out of a limo and dashed across the slutchy grass.
The bride was struggling to keep her veil on in the downdraught from the rotor blades and was a dishevilled mess by the time she boarded.

I found the whole sight hilarious and wonder if on reflection the bride wished she hadn't thought this charade up.

I relay this event as a possible reason for a yellow helicopter.
Some people have more money than sense

It was air ambulance and it landed in Woodnook, 2 idiots on a quad bike had an argument with a lamp post then a house and as far as I am aware a couple and a 9 month old..........2 males gone to hospital and I think the couple and the child are all ok..not sure yet but there's loads of cops and ambulances hanging around, will update as I find out more........just been told the 2 men are very poorly.

Re: Where ....
 

I know the mum of the kids, eldest has lost several teeth and is covered in cuts and bruises, youngest has thankfully survived with just a cut head thanks to her pram,have been told that the driver of said quad bike has died. Bike allegedly mounted pavement.

Re: Where ....
 

Those quad bikes are menace. They visit Heys field sometimes.
Sad that one young chap has died - oh the folly of youth means he won't ever grow up.

Re: Where ....
 

Was it a yellow quad bike ? Apparently was driving like loonies on our street earlier this afternoon my daughter says. These idiots have been riding about up here driving us mad for past few weeks.

Have no more info on it sorry, I will ask, the Police maybe interested to hear about it if its the same one.

Re: Where ....
 

Saw a quad bike going down hollins lane about half 3 this afternoon. 2 asian lads were riding it with no helmets. I actually knew the person who was driving it, hope its not the same one but too much of a coincidence i think

Re: Where ....
 

The air ambulance was about 4pm so it may be the same ones.

Re: Where ....
 

It was about 4 when I heard air ambulance, so I think that it's likely to be the same lads, though let's be honest this could have been a big tragedy, my friends kids are thankfully not seriously hurt. If others are daft enough to ride dangerous vehicles recklessly and put innocent lives at risk I have little sympathy.

Re: Where ....
 

May have been same 1 the incident involved 2 asian riders and it happened on Clement St

Re: Where ....
 

that will be the same one , they went down agusta st and never made the turn on clement st ! ,maybee you should phone the police to say you seen them just before ???

Quad Bike accident?
 

There was all sorts of police activity round woodnook today. So much so that I thought it was a copy cat Moat or something. According to a passer by some young lads lost control of a quad bike on Clement street and hit some people sat outside their house. The police closed off the surrounding streets and a chopper landed on nuttall street. Soon after it all cleared up there was another pillock on a quad driving in a wreckless manner on Royds street. I get the feeling this is going to be a new menace on the streets since these road legal quads are becoming popular.

Re: Quad Bike accident?
