Can I make that clear, please? I have no idea of the cause of the accident, but I do believe that a vehicle of that construction is a very unfortunate one in which to have had the accident - but I am even prepared to be proved wrong about that. I do believe that it is a terrible, terrible tragedy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20661330.post-1163104476873929002006-11-09T20:34:00.000+00:002006-11-09T20:34:00.000+00:00im sorry but all those of you who are commenting o...im sorry but all those of you who are commenting on the fact that should she have been driving the lambo at only 21, dont tell me if u had the chance to have it you woundnt do the same! she wasnt speeding as she had only just pulled out of a junction! there alot of people who are deeply upset and it would have made no difference what car she was driving would it, it was a tragic accident and i feel to sorry for all her family and friends!! what happendend couldnt be helped! and i think her husband has much more to worry about than his car, if she wasnt safe he wouldnt have let her drive it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20661330.post-1163029767401442822006-11-08T23:49:00.000+00:002006-11-08T23:49:00.000+00:00mark:thank you for your comment.i can confirm that...mark:<BR/><BR/>thank you for your comment.<BR/><BR/>i can confirm that the massive 5-litre 'power plant' in this superlight-weight sports model is 'mid-engined.fairdealphilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07246131944479743426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20661330.post-1163029674575571322006-11-08T23:47:00.000+00:002006-11-08T23:47:00.000+00:00I too read the Lincolnshire Free Press and this is...I too read the Lincolnshire Free Press and this is a very sad story - hardly a suitable car to be driving on our roads i fear.Obviously it must be particularly distressing for her husband and family and such a waste of such a young life.On another subject whilst flicking through the paper I saw a big advert on the jobs today page from the appointments commission advertising for a new non executive board for the United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust.Ive been away for a while - have i missed something on the hospital story - what happened to the old board and are things getting resolved at ULHT or is it still the mess it was earlier this year.Any thoughts anyone?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20661330.post-1163007785872939142006-11-08T17:43:00.000+00:002006-11-08T17:43:00.000+00:00As you say, we've no idea of the cause or the cras...As you say, we've no idea of the cause or the crash or, in particular, whether either car was speeding, but I do wonder whether such a small, lightweight contraption can ever protect the occupant(s) from any collision. Even if both cars were travelling within the speed limit, a head-on collision will have a closing speed of 120mph! In such a vehicle (which could well be mid-engined, with the mass of a 5-litre power plant behind the driver), that does not bear thinking about.<BR/><BR/>It is very sad indeed, especially for her husband, whose vehicle it was. He must be feeling quite dreadful.<BR/><BR/>No doubt the facts will come out in due course, but nothing will change the tragedy of the loss of another local young life on the local roads.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
