There have been a few accidents on the main road close to my home. It goes from the M61 Junction 3 to Bolton town centre. Strangely enough it's called the A666.
One involved a guy driving to work, he had a heart attack and hit two people and a telephone box at 30mph. All three of those died.
Further up and around a roundabout, the road turns into a dual carriageway where the limit is 50. My gran has a friend who's husband, son, grandson (some male relation) was doing 70 when he crashed and died.
There was a motorbike accident here last summer where an 8 year old kid was killed. A Porsche driver was going 40 in the 30 zone when he struck a biker. The biker came off, his bike flew through the air at about 40 or so and took out the kid. He didn't live. That night I was out heading towards a garage, but when I got down there the whole place was blocked off with police and ambulences. I used to go to school with that kid's older brother... I think the car driver and biker survived.
If I'd have set off 5 minutes earlier then I'd have seen the whole thing. ;-(
