Horrible that people wont come home from xmas shopping. Thoughts are with their families.
 
Horrible. An old boy on a mobility scooter was crushed by a bin lorry in Bridge of Allan a couple of weeks back. Not nice.

The poor families.
 
Just found out that a friend was there and saw the whole thing. Horrendous.

Thoughts go to all families and friends involved.

RIP the 6
 
My friend is a structural engineer and was called out by the millenium hotel to check the corner where the bin lorry hit. He says it was a very somber and eery atmosphere in the area last night

Absolutely horrific Nikki,just been reading a young lassie and her grand parents are among those who lost their lifes. Cannae begin tae imagine what their family , and the other families who also lost loved ones, are going through. So sad.
