Sunday - 13th May 2012 - Unlucky for some.

While driving back from a job in Manchester (M602 - Just Outside Eccles.)

A man jumps off a motorway bridge, hitting a vehicle in the process.

The vehicle was around 10 cars ahead from my position. 200-300 yards away...

All traffic stops - the man whose car was hit, gets out, sits down on the central reservation with head in his hands, thinking and probably still in shock, and collapses in situe.

The jumper, is lying face down on the road, with legs and arms mangled in an unnatural pose, I can only assume that he had died instantly.


Around 3 cars behind, were in a multi crash (pile-up) , they couldn't stop in time.

I felt so very uneasy & physically sick.

What does it take to make somebody wants to end it all, this way, what reason, what pain, what state of mind.

Life is so short and precious, yet it's wasted in the pursuit of the impossible, and crushing us, our hopes & dreams at every occasion. And even if we attain that dream, by then, it will be too late to matter or to care...

R.I.P Young Man... I hope you are somewhere better, with no pain....
