[alanwilson]

terrible, my heartfelt sympathy to all affected.

lesson to us all, be careful on the roads.

The thing that made me think is that the passat was just driving along and seconds later is hit by a car overtaking!

You can be as careful on the roads as possible... But sometimes - like this sad incident - it's others you need to watch out for!

So the window cleaner was in the car being driven by a convicted drink driver that overtook a car & smashed head on into the car with grandparents & grandchildren in?

[Londoner]

Thats right.

Its just said on the radio he was a known boy racer with a string of convictions including one for an identical accident on the same stretch of road !!

The other car was a Passat which is a good car in an accident ( if you understand what I mean) so assuming that seat belts were being worn it must have been one hell of a crash.

[Ian Rochester]

You can drive as careful as you want, but if there's some idiot with a death wish coming towards you what can you do.

From what I have heard and read, if the driver had survived he would now be facing a charge of death by dangerous driving.

My thoughts go to the innocents who have died due to this and their familes who now have to suffer the losses.

our thoughts to those they have left behind....
