Ufton Nervet crossing, (shh... we're pretending nothing happened) Options

[spartacus]

I see that the crash victim has been named.....
Newbury Today link

Not going to speculate on what might have happened as the thread will be deleted, but from the link it says that as well as the 2004 tragedy the Ufton crossing has been the scene of 'several other deaths'..... Is that true? or are we referring to deaths going back to the mists of time and including every horse and cart that might have been hit since the 1840s.........

The Ufton Nervert level crossing was the scene of a crash in 2004 which resulted in the death of seven people when a train derailed after hitting a car parked across the line.

It has also been the scene of several other deaths and near misses in recent years.

I don't believe that this case was a suicide but an accident. We will see what the Coroner says.
However there will always be people attempting suicide by one method or another and in all cases it causes untold misery and disruption.

I believe that there should be a legal process that would require the agreement and protection of two doctors to state that if a person was of a sound mind and was fully aware of the finality of the decision then there would be a clinic to go to in order to die in a calm and controlled environment. Similar to the clinics in Switzerland that assist people to pass away.

It would be very nice but suicide's by definition are never of 'sound mind' unless physical illness presents itself then that is euthanasia. Suicidal thoughts or actions are when the brain cannot cope with every day life through social situations (grief, trauma) or neuro-transmitter levels in the brain.
