I watched a TV program over the holiday period about the increasing number of deaths of young women involved in car accidents as passengers being driven by young uninsured and disqualified male drivers!
It was chilling to watch and clearly something needs to be done to curb this rising menace of boy racers, trying no doubt to show off their driving prowess (or lack it) to what must be terrified female passengers.
Unfortunately, any action taken will be too late for the latest addition to those horrible statistics, as can be seen in this report of the death of 16 year old Samantha Clarke who died at 2.00am this morning after the car she was a passenger in, hit a tree! The car she was in was been driven by a 27 year old Darren Byrne! At the time of the accident Darren Byrne was driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee and was being pursued by an unmarked police car (with blue lights & sirens) full on.
I expect that there will now be huge amount of shouting against the police for chasing Dareen! I wonder why, if Darren had nothing to hide, did he run from the police? Perhaps it was because the Jeep Grand Cherokee he was driving, was suspected as being stolen and when apprehended by the police after the accident, he was found to have been driving with no insurance and whilst being disqualified!
Perhaps Darren should have been made to go around to Samantha’s parents and explain what he had done to their family. No, of course that’s not his job is it; that’s what the police have to do – pick up the pieces – after idiots like Darren devastate a whole family.
Of course, I’m sure that Darren will blame it all on the Police, who not only have deal with the aftermath of this tragedy, the police drivers now face an investigation by the over zealous politically correct Independent Police Complaints Commission – who knows who they will blame! Finally, the end of this vary dark tunnel will be the verdict of the courts, probably handing out to Darren yet another inadequate sentence, probably of community service, following again, along the lines of this countries’ persistent inability to deal with the grass roots of crime.
I didn’t know Samantha Clarke, her family, or any of the other people involved in this unnecessary tragedy. It just seems to me to be such a waste of the life of someone so young, at the hands of what seems to be a growing band of idiotic young male drivers with egos obviously bigger than their brains! Sadly, I’m sure it won’t be the last time we here of similar tragedies.
