Accident on coast road

Im sure I heard on the radio that it was a 20 year old?

My girlfriends sister was one of the only people to be allowerd past, and she saw bodybag, blood all over etc.

The road was completely closed for the whole night.

MoS that sounds awful Does anybody actually know what properly happened?

Seems to be a few stories!

the cars that were involved, people had got out and were trying to direct them past... you could tell it was serious cause none of the cars involved were moved till well late... they were waiting for the forensics

i know... loads of stories doing the rounds. There's loads of flowers there now, attached to the railings.

Evens

What a stupid idiot if this is true... I feel for the driver/s and the parents.

Idiots such as this playing chicken have no consideration for anyone but themselves and as far as Im concerned, it's one less chav to worry about who otherwise would be going out causing trouble. Maybe the gang will think twice before doing anything so stupid! Harsh i know but these people need to learn a lesson.

Just the other night, travelling through Cramlington on the bus, school kids got off the bus and then held onto the side of the bus, the driver was really shaken up and they thought it was hilarious, they had no consideration for anyone else.

you'd hope so - but i doubt it... hence motorists get the blame and have to foot the bill. Next the council will be building bigger fences to 'protect' them and making us pay for them too...

Short-cut to death on coast road Nov 13 2005
By Sarah Robertson, The Sunday Sun


A woman died last night after being run over while apparently trying to cross a busy North road in darkness.

She was struck by a car on the A1058 Coast Road in North Tyneside, one of the region's busiest roads and an infamous accident blackspot.

The victim, who had last night not been named, was hit by a vehicle travelling towards the city on the dual carriageway.

The accident happened just next to Wallsend Golf Club, on the westbound carriageway, at around 7.30pm.

It is believed the woman, who lived nearby, tried to cross the road to get to a neighbouring housing estate instead of using a subway less than 100 yards away.

A Northumbria Police spokesman said: "A serious road traffic accident occurred on the westbound carriageway of the A1058 coast road at Wallsend."

Late last night the carriageway remained closed as investigations continued into the exact cause of the tragedy.

One motorist who was caught in the tailback said she had travelled on the other side of the carriageway just minutes after the crash happened.

Samantha Kelso, from West Moor, Newcastle, said: "I was driving towards Tynemouth and saw a police car going in the opposite direction but never thought anything of it.

"When I travelled back towards Newcastle I hit a queue of traffic, and as I went past I saw two ambulances and three more police cars.

"I think a lot of people do cross at that point because there are housing estates on either side of the road, but there is a subway nearby."

Between 1999 and 2001 six people have been killed and 17 more injured on the Coast Road.

i live right on the corner... heard the first smash.. must have been the initial accident...

I WAS IN THE PUB AFTER WORK ON SUNDAY WHEN A POLICE MAN CAME IN ASKING IF ANYONE MIGHT KNOW THE LAD NOT LASS AS
THIS REPORT STATES
HE`D BEEN SEEN COMING FROM THAT DIRECTION AND THEY THOUGHT HE MAY HAVE BEEN IN THE PUB FOR THE MATCH
HE SAID THEY HAD NO IDEA WHO HE WAS THAT WAS LATE SUN NIGHT , SAID HE HAD NO ID AND NO ONE HAD REPORTED ANYONE MISSING (just think the parents prob heard about the accident and dont even know it`s there kid yet )

21years old and playing chicken!!?? Some people are so fucking stupid!!

RIP if it was just a plain and simple accident tho

I heard it was def boys playing chicken and his mates ran off and left him Ive got no idea? Sounds like chinese whispers but thats justy what my mums friend said

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/tyne/4433284.stm

says the victim was male in the bbc news report.

It was a young lad, I know his family, no he was not playing chicken. He'd been watching the match with his friends, had a few drinks and decided to try and cross the road instead of use the underpass.

His mum reported him missing the following morning but the police couldn't do anything for 24 hours. When they finally did put 2 and 2 together after the 24 hours was up they could only identify him by his jewellry. Hence no details being released for a while and confusion over who it was.

I never said it was true I just said it was what I heard about chicken!?

Anyways yeh its sad whats happened I hope his family are ok

real shame

How do you know he wasn't playing chicken??

Because I'm an adult who can make observations about the character of somebody I know? :think:
