i know you feel bad because your glad its not one of us. but feel so much for the family im so glad i never saw what happened. my heart goes out to the family must be so hard.

[Guest Guest]

nothing anyone says will take the shock away.... so just ((((((((((((((SQUISHY HUGS)))))))))))))) from me and to tell you a story. my mum stopped at an accident the other week where an old boy on a sidecar outfit had been hit by a car (his fault too). My mum held his hand and comforted him as he died on that roadside. I told her to contact the family via the funeral directors and she did. The family were so grateful that their loved one had someone to comfort him at the end that they wrote to say thankyou. Life is too short not show compassion to a stranger. We would want someone there for us... and I'm sure he knew you were all there for him today x hope his son makes a speedy and full recovery x

very sad to hear, let alone see. Life seems to be so cruel and unfair. I will say a prayer for the mans family

Don't think there is ever a good time to ask, but how are u stue? We are all here whether you know us personally or not to talk to chin up m8.

[Stue11 0]

Thanks everybody for your concerns and your lovelly comments, theyve told me that i should talk about the days events as much as possible as it should help more to come to terms of it, but i keep getting flashbacks to the event, one min i remeber the sound of the bikes hitting the car and the next all the silence there after, but theres one thought that will never leave my mind and thats me telling Tim that is son was going to be ok and him letting go of my hand and closing his eyes, god sake i just wish hed made it, ive just been informed that is son as been disharged from hospital with a brocken collar bone and i think they said cracked vertebrae, just cant think straight at the mo so please bare with me on this, i cant imagine what is family are going through right now, thanks everyone its affected all of us there yesterday more than we thought it would, we are going out back to the scene tonight to lay a wreath and leave our messages, dont worry onslow and Robbie ive bought the cards and will leave a message for you both.

[Kenb 0]

Keep talking Stue.

[Robbie 0]

I spoke to the police earlier and he said John has been discharged this morning but has a broken collar bone and 2 he thinks broken vertebre.

[tubthumper 0]

Tragically sad news. Hope you're coping OK Stuee mate, you all did all you could and full commendations for that.

Thoughts and prayers are with his family and hope John makes a full recovery...

[yankeedoodle 0]

truly tragic news

saw mention of this on facebook and feel so awful for everyone involved. RIP Tim, my thoughts are with your family.

Im glad that his lad is on the road to recovery. I hope its full and speedy

Stu and everyone else who helped, you are true heroes. I wouldnt know what to do in that situation, so well done lads

[Robbie 0]

Please we are not hero's,well I'm speaking for myself here.
I'm not knocking the appreciation that has been shown to us but me personally I did what I did from instinct and a little from a first aid course I did many years ago, like don't move them or let themselves move, if they are drifting in and out of conciousness just keep talking that type of thing and just reassuring them whilst trying to assess the injury's. As far as Im concerned I played a small part, an important part yes as we were first on the scene but the real hero's In my eyes are the paramedics who tried to keep him alive.
Also not forgetting the off duty nurse and air ambulance off duty paramedic that just happened to ride past on his bike.
Thankyou again and I really do appreciate it

Just got back from the scene of the accident and laid a reef for Tim and his family, robbie, onslow dont worry i wrote a nice message from you guys aswell, ive left me phone number at the scene also and hopefully one member of the family may come forward and ring, seemed really weird standing there R.I.P Tim i know you saw us there and all our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

It was nice to put some flowers there and RIP Tim.

I'm finding it hard just to read the posts , so god knows what you guys are going through, my thoughts are with all concerned, not really much to say.

[gravelrash 0]

My thoughts are with everyone concerned, I have been involved with numerous railway fatalities and a couple of bike fatalities and afterwards have shed a tear at everyone. It would have helped so much to have been on a forum like this to release the feelings. I'm so glad Tim had you guys by his side and hope you can now deal with the traumatic event you have witnessed. Please take care everyone! Mike.

I would just like to thank everyone for all your support that you have given to Stu.It was a very tramatic time for him, dispite what he says he was very brave and gave that poor man support for that last minutes of his life.
Also i would like to thank Robbie for supporting Jonathan and keeping him calm, and comforted you was a real star.
Keep safe everyone there's a lesson to be learned from this slow down and don't take chances you never know whats around that corner.
