Took SWMBO to Felixstowe, very nice, had sarnies on beach then dropped her in town while i had walk to docks. Started back about 5 ish, hold up on A14 westbound due to accident at Copdock interchange, very slow but mostly moving. Got nearly through when noticed no traffic coming eastbound. There was a low loader with a bloody great yacht stuck under a bridge, whoops  ::). Then got to Ipswich west interchange where a people carrier was on fire, flames coming from under the bonnet. Hope the fire tender i saw nr Stowmarket wasn,t the one on the way to put it out as it would have been a smouldering shell by the time he got there ;D. Trip was pretty mundane after that.

I was stuck in traffic on the A34 Wednesday night for 2 hours. Massive collision 8 car pile up, Air ambulance etc
4 people died including 3 children. Makes you think about how events can happen so suddenly. Apparently husband was following in car behind his wife and children he saw everything unfold in front. Tragic and life changing.

A tragedy indeed :'(

He was driving the Zafira which crushed the rest of the family in the Corsa in front under an artic. I hope for his surviving sons sake he can learn to come to terms with the whole sorry event. Not good at all :'(

Soil the bed I think I'd be torn between hanging myself through guilt and the desire to stick around for the remaining son..  :-\
