Really unbelievable stuff. Can't understand why anyone would do such things. Very hard for me to look at, considering I lost a friend during a car accident, just a short while ago. Still get very edgy hearing about and watching traffic accidents. Also really feel for the police men and women present and the lorry driver and other witnesses. I'm sure, not something you'll easily forget.:(

Even more unbelievable how she seems to escape without any major injuries though.

Considering this is what I do for a living I see it all the time mate. Just yesterday someone jumped off a bridge at junction 15 on the M6 and landed in a trucks windscreen, stopping traffic both ways for 3 hours and possibly ruining the drivers life forever. The same happened on the M1 about 11 months ago. People trying to top themselves never seem to stop and think what they do to the rest of the world. Heartbreaking and selfish all in the same parcel.

Car accidents are unavoidable, I lost a friend driving back from Germany on his way home after a tour of Iraq. He got hit by a drunk driver. That breaks hearts and lives and is in the main unavoidable through someone else actions. But suicides, I truly can't express my feelings in a public forum.

Don't envy you mate, it has to be a terrible experience to witness. Regarding my friend he got killed in something like a hit and run accident. So that's probably the hardest part of it, as they're still looking for the driver of the other car.

When I was in hospital after a heart attack.the guy in the bed opposite was a train driver and he was suspected of having a heart attack after someone jumped off a bridge in front of him.

That's just the thing that's the hardest part for me to understand. People commiting suicide is sad enough, but don't they think about the people who have to live with the idea they killed someone, even if it's purely by accident?
 
amazing that people with such injuries can get up and fight. High as kites the pair of them.
The poor HGV driver and others involved will have nightmares for years.

Road traffic collisions are accepted as part of everyday life, almost an acceptable cost for living life in the fast lane, living everything at double speed but the real cost of casualties is that hundreds of people are affected every time there is a serious or fatal collision.

The families and friends, the other casualties, the emergency services, the hospital staff and down to people like me who investigate road traffic collisions. By the time I get the details, the people involved are nameless statistics but each scene is a place where someone has lost their life or where someone's life has been changed for ever. That haunts me and my colleagues as we get on with our job of trying to find out what really happened.

Around 9 people die every day in the UK in RTC's, with many more seriously injured.
At least 80% of those collisions are due to driver error - inappropriate speed, misjudgment, avoidable distraction etc.

Many of those killed and seriously injured (KSI's) are avoidable if only people would drive more sensibly and with more respect for other road users and yes, very often, it's the innocent driver that ends up in the coffin while the drunk (insert your own favourite idiot) walks away with a scratch.

Rant over.:@
