Default Subaru driver dies

A 28 yr old was killed at the wheel of his "Subaru" (model not specified by the BBC) at 1.20am this morning.

He "lost control" of his car as he crossed the Kingston Bridge, Glasgow and hit the crash barrier.

Didn't know the guy personally, but was sorry to hear of the loss of one "of our fold".

I passed the scene at about 3.30am. I didn't look too closely as I'm not a rubbernecker, but I did see the crash investigation van parked across the carrigeway and feared the worst. My condolences for the deceased.

Was it on the bridge, or on an approach ramp? The bridge is straight and at least 3 lanes wide. The approach ramps can be quite tightly curved.

In any case it's a 50 mph limit.

So what happened?

it doesnt matter how he was driving it all said and done mate.some poor bugger lost his life today then that ***** comes out with a stupid remark like that.if he meets his maker one day in an unnatural way i hope people show him more compassion than that.

Fecking scabby b*stard, thats a lovely comment to be saying about someone who has lost their life. Imagine their family reading such a pointless and hurtful comment and what more this incident happening over the christmas season.
