Looking at the videos and pictures on there, I don't think even Phelps's would have stood a chance.

Condolences to the family. Wife and 4 kids

Tribute page set up on Facebook by Cumbria Police.

Horrible way to go. Shame it was necessary for him to have even needed to be there. Stupid people who have no common sense trying to drive in those conditions.

I was very sorry to hear about such a tragedy. He was doing his duty to stop the public coming to any harm before the bridge gave way. Life is just not fair sometimes!
