Went past around 8am today. An ambulance on the scene, double-decker bus across the junction, with someone on the road under a blanket. Didn't look.

Anyone know what happened? Was it a bike or motor bike involved?
FCN 2-4.

"What happens when the hammer goes down, kids?"
"It stays down, Daddy."
"Exactly."

    Had a look on LFGSS and couldn't see anything. Did find this though (http://www.lfgss.com/thread81938.html) :shock: :shock: Nearly hit some ducks crossing the road last week.

    yeah, though on a lighter side. many years back barrelling down a trail nr my folks place, a sheep ran out and a took my front wheel out, luckily this being wales the ground was wet so we slid along in a heap.

    no harm done though the sheep did look worried has to be said since it was on the bottom of the heap, no doubt heard about welsh men....

    Dragon Ride a couple of years back there was more than one accident as a results of Man vs Sheep. I think if its ovine, povine, vulpine, feline, caprine or canine then you stand a chance. Equine or bovine is a different beast altogether!

    All I know is I'm glad I missed the rampaging stag in the park a while back. It was very big and very pointy.
