Gridlock coming to work again yesterday due to a fatal accident on the main road to Falmouth involving a bike rider but little did I know how involved we were.

A deck hand of ours, working on an on-call basis, was making his way to Falmouth at 05:30 yesterday morning in drizzely & dark conditions to crew one of our boats.  When he came to a blind corner he was faced with a young 30 y/o female biker sliding towards him on the deck and into his path.  She must have fallen off her 125-bike due to leaves or the ridiculous amounts of diesel on the roads these days.

Regretfully he was unable to avoid her and crashed himself after trying.  The guy is pretty shook up.

Drove past the scene this morning. Chilling !!!!

Be safe out there guys.

oh how sad!!

No his fault Dutch but that doesn't help really, my Dad killed a woman in another car over 40 years ago when she pulled out in front of him, still haunts him to this day.

RIP to the chap.

 

live each day as it comes as it might be your last. thats my motto
