shoepatshoe Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I was down there yesterday about 30 minutes before the accident happened. I wonder if the weather played a part in the accident, as the waves were coming high over the sea wall there and reaching right into the road. When I was there I watched at least two cars swerve to avoid the water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinahand Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I've heard the same thing ... I hope its just the rumour mill ... to loose one child must be an anguish I can't imagine, but to loose two in such a short period must be totally destroying. The parents have my sympathy and I hope they are able to find some peace. It must be a time of absolute turmoil for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkly things make me smile Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 God thats awful especially of it's true about the other child, it must be soul destroying. Deepest sympathy to the family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
