No. Show us you're a man of actions as opposed to words and get on with the job.

Didn't really see the point in the karma comment either. Everyone does have a right to an opinion yes, but I've always been under the presumption that the said opinion should at least have some sound reason.

They sign up to do a job. And they know the risks just as i did when i joined.

It's a waste of a young life and i can't belive the lack of understanding on the issue.
I understand that he went to retrieve a football now doing that might have been stupid and reckless but have some feelings for the young man and his family, his friends who witnessed the tragedy and in particular the car driver and his family.
my deepest sympathy to his family

a couple of times i've seen kids playin on that section of the rd but lucky for me on hte opposite side of the rd

Condolences to the family & to the family that accidently knocked/witnessed this kid, its a sad thing to happen & as Mani says that he's seen some kids playing in that section of the rd before then really the transport & roadways dept want to do something about it like sealing it off so that kids can just wander or play too close that can put their lives in danger, so its clear especially near motorways!! If its not secured then surprised more little lives haven't been taken & to thus save more tragic accidents like this in the future!...just a shame this has happened.

I feel very sorry for the family of this young person who lost their life in such tragic circumstances, to call the victim an idiot is something that should never have been posted on this site, the only facts that are available to you tadah, are what you have read in an article that does not even bother or choose to check the authenticity. It is of no consequence if the victim was playing games or not. A precious young man is no more, and my last words on this subject are leave the family to grieve in peace.

We were coming back from Burnley on Thursday when we saw the flashing lights of a police car and the traffic backed up on the opposite carriageway. At the time because there didn't seem to be any debris or anything, nor signs of an ambulance, I just assumed that it hadn't been anything very serious. Even so, I always hope and pray that no-one is seriously hurt when I see something has happened.

I was really saddened to hear that a teenager had been hit by a car and sadder still that he has not survived. My heart goes out to his family. Who knows why he went down onto the motorway. Of course it seems like a crazy thing to do. Surely it's better to lose a ball than lose your life. I can't recall just what the area is like around there but there should be some kind of barrier to prevent balls getting onto the motorway if there is a play area nearby.

My sympathy goes out to the family who must be devastated. My sympathy too to the driver of the car. It must have been an awful shock and something it will be hard to get over.

Just heard on the radio that, before he died, the lad asked for his organs to be donated on the event of his death.

He deserves a hell of a lot of respect for this - even if your your idiocy denies sympathy.

tadah · 05-03-2007, 13:42

For that yes its a good thing for him to do yes. Ian you dont think going on to the motorway to get your ball back being an idoit? His family would id say.
