My daughter was involved in a major car crash tonight, she was with her closest male friend a lovelly 18 year old sensible lad but not used to driving in heavy rain clipped the grass verge and rolled the car. Vickie managed to escape via the electric window she has cuts to her face and hands with glass,and is recovering in Kettering General Hospital.

 

 

The most sad part is Charles suffered from a heart complaint and was pronounced dead on arrival of the Paramedics.

 

RIP Charles you will be missed by everyone.

 

Such a sad loss of a very young life,

 

Vickie is in bits.

 

She now needs much support

 

Chris.

Such a sad loss at such a tender age. You have my deapest sympathies

 

Also I'm sorry to here about your gran Chris.

very sad news RIP :cry:

Guys,

 

Marie-Anne and I cannot thank you enough for all your kind words, comments and support at this awkward time. As you can appreciate Vickie is totally shell shocked, she had known Charles nearly all her life and they had been together at school from as far back as Playgroup. Even though he wont say so out loud, Christopher, her twin brother is very relieved that she is safe, but also very sad at the death of Charles.

 

Things were made more worrying as Christopher had a driving lesson first thing Tuesday morning, with duel carriageway training at 70 mph. You can't wrap them in cotton wool, but this gives all the more reason for thorough driving instruction as mentioned by Fairlady Z girl.

 

As you can see from the attached picture Vickie is a pretty, happy, bubbly young woman and we are so greatful to have her back safe with us.

 

She has had many visits from her friends and family over the last few days and their support over the coming weeks/months will be crucial to her.

JJP - James thank you so much for taking the time to talk with her on Tuesday night, we know you probably found it hard, but she really appreciated it and anything we can do to support her at this time is important.

 

We'll give it a few days and let her read through the previous post, It will be good for her to know that there are some bloody decent people out there. I am sure when she is up to it she will post a few words of thanks. Her Grandmother was over on Tuesday and was very moved by everybodys words.

 

We'll keep you posted as to how she is getting along and we have attached a link to the local newspaper which has an article on Charles and shows what a great and talented lad he was.

Hi Chris and Marie-Anne

I`ve just read all the tributes to Charles from his friends and it was very moving to see how much they all loved the young lad and how talented and kind he was . He clearly had an impact on many people in his life and their responses are a credit to themselves as well as him , showing what good , decent young people he spent his time among .

 

R.I.P. Charles

 

Love and hugs to Vickie

A truely sad loss for all his friends and family. My deepest condolences to everyone left behind to suffer this tragic loss.

sorry to hear this mate, a feel 4 your daughter coz when i was younger my girlfreind walked out infront of a car travelling at around 70mph, never heard a noise like it and never want to ever again, i was 13 and she was 12, buried the same week as her 13th birthday i had known her since i was in primary school and it was the worst thing i have had to go through i can only imagine how her parents felt, i had to stand up in the coroners court and give evidence and her mother just couldnt accept that she didnt look before she stepped into the road, i felt sooooooooo small, your daughter will need help to get through this but dont smother her, my parents did and it made things ten times worse all i wanted to do was go out with my mates and try and get on with my life but my parents tried to make me stay in every other nite and it was horrible just feeling trapped by four walls with horrible memories going through my mind, i wouldn't wish it on anybody

Thank you for sharing this, It is something that is hard to accept or understand unless you have been through something as traumatic. Vickie is trying to be strong and taking things day by day, today is not so good a day - a sad day as she put it.

 

She is also concerned about how all her other friends are taking this as they are a very close group. The funeral is next Friday, and in a similar way to yourself will not only be hard for them all to say goodbye, but also because Charles's sister will also be 21 next week.

 

Vickie will also have to attend the inquest when that is arranged, the police were with her for 2 hours the other day as she is the only witness.

 

We, like her are taking things day by day, and the next hurdle is to get her to go out of the house, not to go anywhere special, but just to get out. School will be the next one after that, but her teachers and the school are being very understanding and supportive.

 

Chris & Marie-Anne
