A car story from Stoke

[Ex-Staffs Gull]

I know a lot has been said about car accidents on here recently, but this story stuck out in my mind recently.

A car (Vauxhall Nova) with 7 (yes 7) teenage lads, collided with a wall on a country road at 1am. Police eventually arrive and found 6 teenagers ranging in injuries. All but on taken to hospital. The driver was nowhere to be found. Police (Cheshire) assuming he had fled (after a search of about 30 mins apparently), but being told by the others he hadn't, passed it onto Staffordshire police. They arrived at about 2am. Had another search for the driver (apparently) and then started the clear up. The drivers family arrived at about 6am, worried as they felt the lad would not run and nobody had heard from him. One of the Family members found his body 30 yards away in a field about 10 mins later.

I just thought about the family, finding him like that .... Not good

Jesus - that is grim. Makes you think. Reminds me of someone I know. He had a car crash and his two best mates died because of it. The first time he gets back into a car after this, he ran somone over and they died too.
