Saw him quite a few times play for the reserves looked good prospect but unfortunately the injury did for his career. Very sad for the folk killed and maimed.

Pretty sure he had double compound fracture playing for Scunthorpe reserves at Scunthorpe. Injury was so bad game was abandoned.

Nice lad from nice family. This is a warning for all those who think it’s ok to be on your mobile while driving.

The new iOS update with the automated text back and having to ‘declare’ I’m not driving has definitely reduced my phone usage whilst driving (mainly when stationary)

Posted

Why would anyone text on their phone whilst driving? Just make the call on hands free? Dick. Might have been a nice bloke and all but absolutely stupid

 

44 messages sent whilst driving in very bad weather? Fuck me!!!!

Posted

So he wasn’t texting at the time?

Average speed of 81mph.

Let him who is without sin cast the first stone........

 

He was Texting in the moments leading up to the accident on a motorway in stormy conditions. Are you taking the piss?

Been out with my dog at about 7.30 this morning and there are some complete dicks driving off without defrosting their cars properly, driving with a frozen windscreen with limited vision ffs.

we've all done it, this is a reminder you probably shouldn't

 

it was more than the odd text as well, he was having conversations back and forth, so clearly distracted

 

be interesting to see which way the jury goes - he's admitted careless driving, but not dangerous driving, presumably a more lenient sentence

I say it every year but it never ceases to amaze me how people can't simply pour a jug of luke warm water on their windscreens to defrost it.

 

You don't need de-icer, you don't need boiling water, you don't need to scrape ice with a cd case.

 

One bastard jug of Luke warm water is all it takes. It really isn't hard.

nowt to do with the jury now (tbf, i misheard on the radio yesterday as i thought they said he'd been jailed)

 

 

However, a jury at Carlisle crown court on Tuesday found him guilty of causing death and serious injury by dangerous driving. He was warned he faces a substantial jail term when he is sentenced on 23 November.
