I saw a man hit by a lorry’s wing mirror in Stockport, and his head was sheared off. He was waiting to cross the road. He was a member of Northern Uproar. It was in 2014 and ten years later I can still see the accident happen. RIP Jeff.

I really feel for you
I am terrified of seeing something like that. I know I won't be able to get the image out of my mind and it will freak me out for ages. I will never slow down on the motorway to stare at an accident because I know if I witness anything gory will be seared in my memory for years.

So today is Christmas? Where’s my present?
Christmas is a celebration of Christ's birth, not his death.
You can buy yourself an Easter egg.
I am a tit Christian. I shall go to confession immediately.

I quite enjoy these posts, keep them up!
Nothing changes does it? No deaths and Britney Spears still twirling half naked on IG! Same tit, different day! Clearly the reaper is still on extended leave!
There's nothing doing. Lots of flat batteries in the parked-up service fleet..........

How awful for you witnessing that and the poor man!
I'm always wary about walking to near edge of pavement as outside an old workplace a man was killed after being struck by a buses.wing mirror. The road was narrowed due to some road works and bus was travelling to fast and partially mounted kerb..the poor man was walking with his back to traffic so didn't even see it coming.
City of London roads were not built to accommodate big buses, lorries (especially when you add cyclists into this too) the roads just aren't wide enough and they hug the kerb as they pass !
Or, indeed, given some events yesterday, spooked Cavalry horses.
I don’t even follow her on there but she always appears on my feed somehow

I saw someone die at an old work place and it was horrific, it still scars me. I never want to see one of these awful accidents
My husband used to volunteer for St John's ambulance and loved it, unfortunately he had to stop as he dealt with a horrific injury and death and needed counselling for afterwards
I've never understood why people seek out gore on the internet. Terrible accidents happen, but to actually want to watch it (never mind who films the stuff and uploads it) is seriously disturbing.
On a brighter note, I see the Reaper is still on holiday, probably gone somewhere warm and sunny because it's colder than a witch's tit here.

It doesn't massively bother me, but I won't go out of my way to see it.
