It was awful, a lorry and car had pulled over onto the hard shoulder it happened at the bridge and the slip road body was still int he road when we passed. looked like a female. they wer just putting a white sheet over. RIP whover it was sympathy to the family and god bless them.

Exactly. Its sad if someone feels they have to kill themselves BUT the motorists don't deserve to be involved and thats why I fail to find sympathy for the victim.

I'm not advocating it obviously, but this person clearly wasn't in the right state of mind to be thinking of these things as you or I might.

I remember driving down to London and a bloke tried to climb over the fence on a bridge in an apparent attempt to jump off just as I was driving under it. I saw in my rear view mirror, though, some other bloke who had chased him and stopped him doing it.

Not that I think he actually intended to jump as it didn't take much effort to pull him back. Plus, if he was really serious, he would have chosen a tall building, rather than a 20ft bridge.

reminds me of the guy a couple of weekends back...threatened to jump off the severn bridge?
M5 was closed for 7 hours why police tried to talk him down causing tailbacks for miles.

after 7 hours the inconsiderate sod jumped off.

why didnt he do it 7 hours earlier to save all the hassle.

I think we'll leave this thread here now. I don't care if its inconsiderate or not, theres still a mourning family somewhere who have to deal with the sad consequences. That's if there has been a death which sadly it sounds like.
