R.I.P. & strength to his family.
Sad news again to start off the weekend, this kind of headline is becoming much too common again unfortunately. It’s raining heavily here today so please just slow down on the roads everybody, turn off the mobile till journey ends, of course don’t drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs & belt up.
Take a break if you feel sleepy too. It’s easy to drift off on the motorway, literally and figuratively.
Another weekend, another wasted life. Same usual scenario .Young man, Late night /early morning. Back road.Single car collision. The other two factors I’m not sure about ( drink+speed ) ,lets wait and see. God rest this poor lads soul.
How do u know it was Sudden Adult Death, or a fit of some sort. You shouldn’t judge when you dont know the facts.
*wasnt
Problem is ….. we never hear the facts.
When have we seen an *update* to an article:
“The deceased was X times over the legal limit…..”?
Thats right… we never do.
So considering the same olfactors in play…. I think its fair to assume some sort of substance was involved.
Ciara, there is no such word ” wasn’t “
have your say
