sad to inform the group but in York over the weekend a girl was killed in an accident in the early hours on Sunday morning on the streets of York, no details as yet, but from a close resident who lives near me who is PH told me the story, that the PH vehicle from Ebor taxis York was involved in an accident to which she was knocked down after running across the road

its a thing we live with every weekend, when people in drink have no thoughts when crossing a road

We dont yet know the full circumstances of this incident but drink is certainly a major problem in road accidents.

Remind me of the local lad who thought he had driven over a brick in the road one busy Sat night, and it turned out to be some blokes head. :shock:
