December 25, 201213 yr Indeed, terrible. Bad at any time but hits home even more today. RIP little ones
December 25, 201213 yr Realy has put a dampner on the day. RIP Kids. Thoughts to the families left behind. And a big Heart warmed thanks to the services who attended the scene just doing thier job. Hope theyre coping ok this eve.
December 26, 201213 yr On hearing at 10pm that it was 2 boys aged 4 and 10 plus a woman of 32, with 2 other women seriously injured, I remembered an old friend from near Stoke who has 2 boys 6 or 7 years apart, plus a mother and sister to whom she is very close. Then I remembered that, at a point in time, her brother-in-law was working in Holland, and quite likely to be involved continually in projects on the continent. So the possibility of a long drive home at the last minute. Then I worked out that her boys are 12 and 6, and she is 38. The sister is of a similar age - much older than 32. Felt a bit more comfortable. Then I thought that if so many details were wrong initially, they could still be less than accurate. Not a good night's sleep. (34C, to save you asking)
December 26, 201213 yr How many parents bury their heads away when they hear if these terrible events. Can't really bear thinking about it. RIP

December 26, 201213 yr Very true Smiffs. Awful. Cant imagine whats the mother is going in hospital right now. It's a tragedy she'll relive every day of the rest of her life.
December 26, 201213 yr It's a tragedy she'll relive every day of the rest of her life. Think I'd rather have gone with them to be honest.
December 26, 201213 yr Think I'd rather have gone with them to be honest. Aye, me too. I just hope it wasn't her fault.
December 26, 201213 yr Always thought these were pretty shitty accidents before. Now I've a kid of me own they hit home a lot harder. RIP
December 26, 201213 yr Was going south bound and was about 20 cars from the front when they closed the motorway. Watching the helicopters land on the motorway to take them away whilst listening to the radio was heart breaking stuff. Had to 3 point turn on the motorway to the get to next junction absolutely crazy. RIP little ens.
