Default RTA involving scooby

No one's mentioned the RTA in Cowbridge (A48) on Tuesday.

Details given were Tuesday afternoon, driver from Newport, white Subaru.

Anyone?

I just want to post quickly on this,

This was Gareth's car (NWS) and the gentleman that has passed away from what I understand was a passenger in the car.

I don't think we should go into to much discussion about this under the circumstances.

Sorry to hear about this. I always dread reading one of us has had an accident and I hope that you get through this as best you can in the circumstances.

Sad news. Condolences to all concerned. Believe it or not there has been another accident at the same spot this weekend. The water problem across the carriage way needs to be dealt with.

I don't know you personally Gareth but get well soon mate.

quik post to update ribs still fooking hurting like hell breathing a bit better now too so im on the fix, my heads still all over the place but what can i do !!!
apparently my tyres were not the best and with the amount of water they didnt live up to what they should have........
well i guess i,ll just have to see what mr plod throws at me but at the end of the day im still here, so i realy dont care if they "get" me on the highest charge they can

cheers wide i bet a few of your mates came out and if you do know any of them give them my thanks they were there just after the old bill and still ages BEFORE the paramedic car and the ambulance !!!!!!!!!!

Glad to hear you're on the mend.. if you'd crashed in Cardiff you'd of had a better response from us as it's where us Vale crews spend our shifts.. the Fire Service don't quite have the work load we do..

The Mrs has been trying her hardest to get into Paramedic training, but they are restructuring the whole process at the moment so they are not taking on trainees , well thats what shes been told, a little gutted because she has always wanted to do that job.
