car went over runcorn bridge

[annaellie]

I just been speaking to my mum and she said apparently a car went over the bridge, dont know full details but anyone who knows that bridge will know how high it is and its water underneath. Hope whoever was in the car will be ok.

Oh my god - well if it did go over the chances of he/she getting out alive are pretty slim like you said huge bridge and lots of water!!

I live in Widnes (it's the Runcorn WIDNES bridge

ok sorry *removeschipfromshoulder*

)

I heard 2 lorries tipped over in the winds but didn't hear about anyone going over the side?

Has anyone seen any news?

I don't know which bridge it was, but a skip lorry went over a bridge yesterday, and the female driver was killed

It was an artic curtainsider. Was just up the road from me. There is a pic of whats left of the truckin Daily Mail. The trailer went into the canal but the cab landed upside down on the hard at the side. RIP to all families that have lost someone.

Havnt heard about that one...

Sam - I call it the Runcorn bridge! and im not the only one, we're all too lazy to call it by its full name!

For those who dont know the Runcorn - WIDNES (

) bridge, (which I can see it from my yard on a good day which is miles away so it is rather big and high!) heres a pic:
