Thats heart breaking to think four girls in there prime could be wiped out so sudden, it really makes u realise how lucky we all are. rip
RIP. I heard unofficially this morning that one of the girls is from my local town. Only daughter of a family.
RIP, the accident only happened two miles from my home house, it's a really bad corner. So much for the N17 by-pass being built next year, Should have been finished years ago and this accident would have been avoided.
