Horrific, so very sad.

That's shocking mikey.
It says ///The two lorry drivers have been arrested, one of them on suspicion of driving while over the alcohol limit.///
Both arrested for dangerous driving.
If that's the case, I hope they get what they deserve.

That's terrible news at any time but at the start of the Bank Holiday makes it seem a lot worse.

If that Fed-Ex lorry is one of the causes, then we are not talking about any alleged drunken lorry drivers, but what I would presume what should be very professional drivers.

Sounds like they were racing each other or something, at least one of them suspected of DD. Tragic deaths caused by idiots by the look of it.

awful news.

Heard both lorry companies were named on lunch-time news.

If they had been racing each other, hope they get prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Apparently one of the lorry drivers, who needed a Polish translator in court, was drunk and stopped in the middle of the road. Shocking!
