What a terrible tragedy. My thoughts are with the family and friends.
I was in the hospital car park not long after this tragic accident. I was disgusted that there were bystanders taking photos and filming the scene on their mobile phones -where is their respect? Respect for the injured as well as those who were doing the unenviable job of trying to rescue those trapped.
Our thoughts are with the grieving family at such a dreadful time.
