I'm quite certain that excessive speed played no part in this accident. None whatsoever. No, sir.

Re: Two Men Dead After Car Hits Bridge Pillar
These are built like absolute tanks. I’d love to know how fast they were going. Well over 100mph no doubt.

Re: Two Men Dead After Car Hits Bridge Pillar
 Considering how badly the car is wrecked, the bodies seem to be surprisingly intact.

Re: Two Men Dead After Car Hits Bridge Pillar
They really bent that Bentley! I know that stretch of road well; between those points mentioned there are a couple of wide reverse curves. It is fairly easy to exceed the posted speed limit (70mph) there, I'd hazard a guess that they were travelling at twice that speed. UK gore is pretty rare (from what I've seen), but to have an incident that happened less than a mile from me is exceptional. Great find, Godrekr. Thanks. |

Well, they were cushioned in that Bentley Woolton Pile Carpeting, and the leather upholstery that comes from cows that are fed butter and cream and given massages daily, and the wood that is match-grained and laminated for beauty. Not to mention the 30 coats of hand-rubbed paintwork. I'm sure they thought, as their heads were bouncing off the wonderful interior: "Oh, my, what a positively elegant death I'm having!"  |
