Whilst agreeing with the sentiment of the poor truck driver being injured probably both physically and mentally I think it's wrong to wish torture even self inflicted on anyone. The full facts aren't know at present and may never be even if in the worst case scenario I wouldn't wish a slow death on him.Awful story,seems he put the truck driver and others at risk too. If it is true, let's hope he took a while to die
Can’t see why it’s unbelievable.
Very sad for all,especially the lorry driver.
If he where contemplating that sort of thing. He could have just driven off a high cliff or something. It was not necessary to risk taking the life of an innocent driver as well. I suppose that aside. He has probably save the rest of society a shed load of money, with trials and the cost of keeping them locked up.?

Gotta say Jim I find your attitude a bit un-Jim. I would only ever wish pain on someone who hurts children or animals. I am a 'hang em on high' sort of person but at least make it quick and painless.I said if it's true. If it is, yes I'd wish pain on him. Lots of it.
If a train driver is unlucky enough to have 2 jumpers in his job driving the train he is put out to grass.We had a spate of people jumping in front of trains here a few years ago. Very selfish too. The drivers and passengers must have suffered severe mental issues.
Why couldn't he have just locked himself in a fummy garage.?

Sad story all round.
Or bring the death penalty back?. 90pence bullet. Verses over 40 grand a year at the last count. In my view no contest.Hmmm - I'm with Jim. I can't change my sentiment on someone's 18th birthday. I agree - lock people away for ever who do very bad things, but should apply whether victim is 8, 28 or 88....
Two grand a week might be closer.Or bring the death penalty back?. 90pence bullet. Verses over 40 grand a year at the last count. In my view no contest.
Totally agree. Unfortunately the wagon drivers life, given the trauma of the incident, is unlikely to ever be the same.This thoughtless, selfish bastard must have died instantly. Hope the wagon driver survives to live hopefully a near normal life.
I can't believe that some are wishing 'Lots of pain'
Just maybe, he had too much on his mind, if he had previously killed his wife and in his torment was just driving on the wrong side of the road, not a suicide, but an accident.![]()
I am not condoning his actions, just another possible explanation,. It really needs a statement from the lorry driver to confirm the possibility of suicide.Maybe he just found his wife, who'd been murdered by a one-armed man who he was chasing when he crashed.![]()

That scenario if far to close to home, It was happening (not obviously anywhere near as theatrical) to one of our Doctors. Not too many years nor very far away. He had, had years of an abusive relationship until his sons left home. After which he upped and left. He sadly died under the knife during a simple operation some years later. His patients raised enough money in his memory to fund several Defibrillators.We don't know what went on before... Maybe his wife had spent years abusing HIM, threatening HIS life, holding a knife to his throat when he was in bed, raping him, starving him, locking him in cupboards... and he just snapped and didn't even realise he was driving into a lorry. Life is rubbish for some people behind closed doors and it may sound like a ridiculous scenario.. but it's what some live with everyday and no escape for one reason or another.
Please can we wait for the facts to come out before we judge this tragedy.
Yes, I realised where the one armed man was from, the original fugitive was on TV in the 60, s, it ran forever, rather like the fugitive himself.I was just being silly. The one armed man was from the Fugitive
I've said all along IF it was Murder-Suicide.. But as you say there might be much more to it. But as it stands, he has no sympathy from me
