I came home from Cornwall last Friday. One day I had to be a traffic marshall down a narrow lane from where we were staying into Wadebridge. It was up and down hill with pull ins. We came face to face with a Travers Perkins lorry. OMG I started to feel sick. I had to go back and ask all the drivers behind us to start reversing back up and find bigger pull ins. Then another trip over to Port Issac we were climbing up another narrow lane when met with another 2 cars coming down. Think my daughter burnt 2 years off of the clutch waiting for the cars to reverse up. Not good roads. |

It looks as though the brakes failed on a steep hill. 2 have died. The coach flipped onto its side. |

How sad to end your holiday like that. Some of the roads are very windy and narrow but this was a coach from Exmouth so I assume the driver knew the route. I wonder what happened poor souls. Could be a tyre or anything. |

Problem is with the elderly, although they may not be physically injured, the shock can cause all sorts of damage. |
