I heard the sirens and commotion this morning and knew it was bad and prayed for the family who was going to get that call to say their loved one was in hospital. I went for my usual walk but the road was still blocked off so did a detour. The road had been reopened on my return but the speed of traffic flying along the road was frightening. That stretch of road is like a racetrack despite the bad bends. My heart was heavy to see the road marked out and the vehicle towed..pray he recovers quickly
I hope and pray that this young man will be ok!
