You made me cry again! Sigh. I’m surprised at how this has affected me. I can’t stop thinking about his wonderful Mum and Dad. Such wonderful, warm and giving people. What a nightmare. And that is an understatement.

Thanks guys. It is sad.

Katrina - I can’t even imagine how hard it much be for emergency service people in the country. I know road accidents is what puts many people off volunteering for CFS.

Kelley - hope your dd is okay. Life can be tough.

It’s not easy for anyone, especially in smaller communities where everyone knows everyone else. hugs

It’s always hard in country areas, the chances of knowing the person or even having links to the person are so much more increased!!! I am in our local CFS (more in comms but do get out on the road on occassion) and it is something we have to deal with constantly

I grew up in the country and too many times mum tells me of yet another fatality involving country roads, usually males, and sometimes alcohol and excessive speed. Unfortunately I lost two of my cousins to car accidents and the toll on the families and friends is too hard to describe.

I’m really sorry for this young man’s family and friends.

Oh no, this is sad. Sad for Kelley too. My own grand daughter is 16, doesn’t have her licence yet, but I worry for her when she eventually gets on to the roads. She knows how to drive, E and brother S have been driving at the farm for a while now, but that’s not the same as city streets.

Oh babe. This is really freaky.

Right now, at this moment, my daughter is mourning a friend who died a couple of hours ago.

Details are sketchy… but country road and a tree.

I, like you, are finding this hard to get my head around. He was Moo’s age. I can’t imagine what his mother is going through right now.
