V Sad, and makes me think about buying parts froma breakers!

As for the question, can't imagine any roundabout speeds being that bad but if your not familiar with the road layout it is sometimes poss to come off the roundabout and think you're on a stretch of dual, only to meet something in a rather abrupt fashion.

Very tragic for everyone, regardless of if they are on here or not.

Reading the article, this appears to be the roundabout in question.

Could have been an oncoming if the rear went whilst exiting the roundabout on to the single-carriageway.

Sad news indeed. RIP.

RIP

There are quite a few people round that way, the other person I know of is NigelC, but he was with us at the Herts meet at the time of the crash

Would the police give out info do you reckon?

i very much doubt police won't give out details but if anyone lives near by and get the local paid weekly paper, the names may be in there

Not good at all

Just goes to remind us all to be very careful out there when the weather's bad.
