Car Crash
- Thread starter baldy
- Start date
Looks like a third person has sadly passed away in hospital following the crash, according to Facebook the three dead are young men from Accrington's Asian community, Councillor Musif Dad has confirmed this. It has also been mentioned that the other car went through a red light at well over the 30mph speed limit and hit the car with the Asian lads in.
My thoughts are with the families and friends of the deceased.

says investigators are looking for the cause of the accident
from the near misses iv seen and had there its most likely red light jumping but the problem will be saying which car jumped red
sadly people have lost their lives because one person couldnt wait a couple of mins

From the state of the railings and knocked down traffic light, and the pic I was shown today from last night, I'd say it's a fairly safe bet that they were travelling at nowhere near the speed limit. The number of idiots on the road today is frightening.

Latest is that the third injured party is still with us but critical, the 2 fatalities according to NW News were Asian gents in their 40s, but FB is unclear on this and suggests that both were female. It would appear that the car that hit the Vectra was going well over 30mph. Whatever has happened I feel for the families of those involved.

Hyndburn Rd has been used as a racetrack for a long time now,this seems to be ignored by the police. now some have sadly died.
not just the police Lancashire County Council dont give a stuff about public safety either they just shrug you off when you ring with concerns
I've just been helping direct traffic at an incident near Whitebirk. Two drivers decided they didn't want to wait one minute for the oncoming traffic to get past the ambulance, and simultaneously started a three-point-turn to head back to Rishton. They didn't bother to check their mirror first, and blocked the inbound blue-light paramedic. Then each waited for the other to get out of the paramedic's way.
Idiots!
That's the polite name for them.
I must not swear on here or I will get repremanded.
is Richard Cranium swearing?
Nice way to put it .
I would have used that terminology too, but Frank knows my Ma and she would slap me silly if she heard me swearing, or using profanity....he might just dob me in

Me too, and my mums a member (not been on for a while though so probably safe) but sometimes you have to just say stuff it, I'm saying it how I'm thinking it

Hoe about some investment in cameras at the junctions. They will either reduce the number of red light jumpers or swell the coffers - like the ones in London do.
they have them in huddersfield and other places and trust me as soon as word gets out after a few pics are taken people start stopping at lights
the problem is that our Lancashire County Council thinks it knows better and has a totally opposing view that does not protect the pederstrian or innocent party but the criminal
iv probbably posted this at least 3 times on here already in various threads but just so everyone is clear on LLC's way of thinking ill run it by again
LLC refuse to reactivate and install further red light cameras because when a car goes through a red light and gets flashed this makes the driver of the car brake suddenly resulting in the car behind it rear ending the car that has braked suddenly after been flashed
so in short LLC's concerns lay with not only the person who jumped the red light but also the second person that jumped the same red light to hit the first person who did it..No concern is considered for the person coming the oppsoite way using a green light whos life has been put in danger by the red light jumper.Nor was any concern given for people crossing on a green man whos lives are also put into danger from red light jumpers
did that make sense ?
Your explanation makes sense. Their rationale does not.
