This was in the paper on Monday and only the littlest had died in that report, but 3 more have died now, it's almost unbelievable - story here

Just 2 vehicles passing on a narrow road. Awful.

Oh God - how horrific.

HOW did they fit 7 children into a Land Rover?

Jennifer8 · 19/09/2007 06:54

I cannot imagine how they will bear it

Absolutely tragic. I wondered how they fit 9 people in a Land Rover. Must have been specially designed or something.

They all seem to have lovely unusual names.

It was 12 seater type land rover apparently.

Very tragic.

It is very close to where I lived until June (about a mile away). The road is very narrow, and I can't imagine trying to overtake (which is what they were doing according to the police). Whatever the circumstances however, it is completely tragic and I can't imagine what the parents are going through.

fedupwasherwoman · 19/09/2007 14:59

Were they overtaking or passing a vehicle going in the opposite direction ?

Hulababy · 19/09/2007 15:00

I read about this on the BBC site. Very sad

WendyWeber · 19/09/2007 16:29

I've just read "passing" - some reports say going in opposite directions, I've not seen anything that says overtaking.

I heard they were trying to overtake the other vehicle/

So very very sad - unimaginable

ELF1981 · 19/09/2007 16:35

I'm not far from where this happened, its a very story. My heart goes out to the family

3madboys · 19/09/2007 16:37

my parents live near this bridge and when i lived at home one of our next door neighbours lost a brother at the same place.

it is a very narrow road and apparently was unusually busy due to a rowing event, they were either trying to pass or moved out of the way but slid down the embankment

very very sad

I used to know the dad when we were teenagers. Very sad.

2mum · 21/09/2007 18:43

This is so sad. The poor couple have lost their four youngest children. They must be heartbroken.
