How many cars ran into it?
One guy died on a motorcycle. I would hope it means a big lawsuit and even larger settlement but it is Great Britain.
Nobody died, the article was just speaking hypothetically "If I hadn’t seen it I would not have believed it. I had to check the calendar to make sure it wasn’t April 1st. It is an absolute disgrace. I hope that the ESB and Laois Co. Council do not find themselves having to explain their squabbles to the family of a dead motorcyclist killed by their combined neglect."
It's not Great Britain, it's in the Republic of Ireland, which is almost as litigious as California. (Confusing the two, is a little like when we talk about the US State of Ontario
)
I'm surprised there wasn't a queue of people lining up to drive their cars into it just for the 'compo'.
It vanished rather quickly when it appeared in the media
.. funny how that happens!
