| Post subject: | Driver fatality on RH&D |
As noted in Flimsies, an engine driver was killed by a motorist who drove past warning devices and collided with his locomotive on the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Light Railway, the famous miniature railway in Kent, England. Very sad. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2004/09/28/nscra28.xml&sSheet=/news/2004/09/28/ixhome.html |

May I respectfully point out that 1) this accident happened in August 2003, not recently, and 2) if I recall correctly, we commented on it here back then.[/b] |

Why so it was, and so we did. My apologies. |

The car driver, Marie Scrace, has been found not guilty of dangerous driving but guilty of driving without due care and attention. She has been fined £500 and banned from driving for 12 months. I would imagine that the family of the dead locomotive driver must feel disgusted by this outcome and the message that using a car to kill someone is a minor offence........ The "justice" system never fails to disappoint me. G |
