Selfish P rick

Investigators are focusing on evidence suggesting a car driver committing suicide caused a rail crash that killed seven people on Saturday.
The driver was among those killed when a train hit his car at a level crossing near Ufton Nervet, Berkshire.

Police say they will examine the silver Mazda to see if there may be any other reasons why it stopped on the crossing.


Police have confirmed an off-duty policeman saw the car drive onto the crossing while the barriers were up, then saw them close with the vehicle still on the track.

He tried to alert the emergency services but was unable to stop the First Great Western train smashing into the stationary car and derailing.


Six people, including the train driver and the car driver were killed in the crash and the seventh died in hospital on Sunday.

Some newspapers have reported that the officer had a conversation with the driver of the car before it was hit by the train, pleading with him to save his life.

The Daily Express said the officer yelled at the young driver to "get out of the car now!"

But the man is thought to have replied: "No. Leave me alone. I want to die," the paper added.

The Daily Mail has reported that another witness, Mark Penston, spoke to the officer after the crash.

"The policeman said he had seen the car stop on the line. He said it was a suicide," Mr Penston told the paper.


However, Det Chief Constable Andy Trotter, of British Transport Police, said the officer's statement did not include any mention of a conversation between him and the driver of the car.

Speaking about the suicide theory, he said: "We never jump to conclusions, but obviously this is a major line of inquiry when you get such unusual behaviour.

"We won't make any assumptions. One of the reasons why we're going to examine the motor vehicle in such detail is to see if there are any other explanations for what might have happened."






Hes no better than a suicide bomber, I hope he rots in hell.

Don't worry he will... suiciders never go to heaven (if you believe in heaven ) anyway. He'll spend the rest of eternity in Limbo.

Saying that, I never understand why people feel the need to drag others in with their deathwish.. you see it sometimes with mothers drowning their children before killing themselves.. I mean if you want to die, fine... just don't impose your desire on someone else.

Makes me angry these kinds of things...

cunt should have drove of a cliff.

Or better still stayed at home and did it, but to killothers while he killed himself is the hieght of selfishness

Yeah, I'm sure you'll be including everyone who's committed suicide after losing a loved one, those who killed themselves to escape a life of domestic and sexual abuse and those with serious mental illness… gotta feel the love and non-judgmental attitude of you hardliners!

hehe.... besides I do think that god truly is that 'petty'...... lol

You hardliners??? Wow.. that's a new one! I'm sorry if what I said offended you in any way, but I do not see suicide as an option, never! It is never the only option and quite frankly I consider it extremely cowardly and selfish to do. The examples you gave, yes, terrible, but if suicide is your only option then you are not thinking clearly. There are tonnes, hell, millions of people that go through the same or worse and they don't commit suicide. Why? Because maybe they think that life is worth fighting for or maybe they don't want to put people what they are going through. This guy wanted to kill himself (allegedly) so do it, but don't drag others down with you. How bloody selfish can you get!!

experienced suicide have you?

I was gonna say, unless you have contemplated suicide I really dont think you can judge someone for chosing that way out. Every personal situation is different, someone can choose to take their own life even though another person may think they have everything to live for. A person who is thinking about taking their own life is obviously very ill and needs help. Theres no excuse for taking innocent lives though like in this case.
