theman Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 The death of a 28-year-old woman who crashed into a wall in Onchan was an accident, a coroner rules. Source : http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/rss/-/1/hi/world/...man/7903511.stm A verdict of accidental death was recorded by coroner Michael Moyle at the inquest on Saturday. i think they say that just so it's not so much hard blow for the family&close friends to take. & I THINK THAT'S RIGHT TO!

I don't agree - it sends the wrong message to the other idiots (future road statistics) on the Island. You don't accidently drive while drunk without a seatbelt.

At least the stupid bint only killed herself, and didn't take any innocent people with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frances Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 what other verdict could have been found - she obviously didn't set out to kill herself, nor was anyone else responsible for forcing her to drive. Maybe our lawyer could indicate the legal difference between misadventure and accidental death - I interpret the former to indicate that some particular set of circumstances conspired against what in the past had been a safe (tho a la TT) possibly risky operation voluntarily undertaken. We can all pass judgement and may be locals can confirm that this stretch is indeed a racetrack - unfortuneately statistics would indicate that those caught speeding repeat the offence so maybe it was lucky that only she and a friend were involved in this.

WTF Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 i think they say that just so it's not so much hard blow for the family&close friends to take. & I THINK THAT'S RIGHT TO!

That's a wrong message. don't forget speeding too!! i think sober with seatbelt and not speeding is likely to have much better odds of keeping you 'fine' than sober, seat belted and speeding!

Vulgarian Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 At least the stupid bint only killed herself I'm beginning to see how apt your username is. If driving too fast on an icy road under the influence of alcohol without a seatbelt isn't stupid, i don't know what is. She definately qualifies for 'stupid bint' status.

WTF Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I don't remember reading about speeding in this case. the speed has not been determined because of the icey conditions and therefore lack of actual skid marks, but it has been mentioned as a possibillity/probabillity but without the actual eveidence to back it up. but i believe the markings showed the vehicle went completely onto the opposite carriageway and hit the kerb, and then came back to it's own side the road and had enough speed/inertia to flatten a few feet of stone wall end on!. that is quite a distance ( though the ice helped the situation ) to travel and still have enough speed to damage the car enough to need the person cutting out!! i would expect a 140mph+ car designed for rally purposes to come off a bit better than that in a crash within the speed limit.
