Look out for the cyclist in white just before the car crashes into the monument :shock:

Apparently it drove through the barriers closing off the parade route. Some reports say the driver jumped out before the car came to rest. Then again, others say he had to be cut free by the fire brigade. :?:

Digest does look good, but I'm not sure a video showing these events - especially under a heading like that - belongs there. :? Sean, I pm'd you about this earlier.

Agree with Adrian, this isn't the place for this really. 4 people killed.

Sean,
Whatever the sensitivity, my colleagues were impressed that ACC was at the forefront of breaking news....you can't win em all.

No, you're right and at the time I didn't know anyone had died. I apologise for any offense. :(

Don't worry - in any case the original post was mine, so thanks for helping me out :wink:

Guys, don’t beat yourselves up over this. You weren’t to know of the tragedy that followed. Anyway It was on this forum that I first saw the news, so just goes to show that we are right up to speed with world news.
