I don't know anything more apart from the Radio 4 report and the BBC
website, but it sounds just like the sort of run my club were doing this
morning, and I'd have been on if it weren't for my back.
Utterly tragic. Except... we cannot keep calling motor accidents 'tragic'
as if there were nothing to be done about them.
