Not something I like to hear about. I commute by scooter along the A40 into town 3/4 days a week

I know what you mean. Using the same logic loads of people die of cancer every day and you don't hear about them!
I think comparing soldiers out in combat to people dying on the roads is a bit far off though. They should be mentioned so it's out in the Media and people know exactly whats going on with the armed forces and the risks they take.

Bad language in the video.
Sorry to hear that, OP. I hope it hasn't affected you too much. Unforunately these things happen, my thoughts are with his wife and children.

It's a 3 lane 40mph A road there, not motorway. I used to commute on that stretch for a few years. Mind you, the day anyone sticks to 40mph there will be the day I eat my hat. There is in fact a pedestrian crossing just before the flyover, but the o/p hasn't indicated where he lives so I can't comment further on that bit of roadI feel sorry for the truck driver, personally. If you're dumb enough to run across a motorway (or ride across one, either way..) it's pretty much going to happen one way or another. It's just a shame that the lorry driver got dragged into it
Hope you feel better OP.
Edit: It appears he lost control?
I didn't think you could take scooters on the motorway?. Either way, RIP.
Because the government ordered them to be there and it's easy political point scoring (ie, IT' your fault he's dead) no one orders people to drive.
also at 9 deaths per day hearing news of road accidents would become tedious very fast, the news is an entertainment industry now so has to keep up with entertaining stories.

That slim woman had just been hit by car, which seemed to come off worse, and she obviously knew how to fight. I'm sure you could have stopped her easily.
Later that day she murdered a man too.
"As paramedics unsuccessfully tried to save him, Ericksson was seen nearby hitting herself on the head with a hammer before jumping off a 40-foot bridge onto the A50."
Not a woman you want to mess with.

Pun intended?

How inept were the police! Good thing members of the public were willing to help!
