M6 Death

Whilst I offer my sympathies to the family of this man, there is no mention of how the Lorry driver is coping with this :

dailymail.co.uk/news/article … sage-field

He will rot in hell with a bit of luck :imp: Faizel Vohra had no considerations for an innocent driver when he decided to end it! Very selfish and cowardly. I can’t imagine how the lorry driver feels or the other motorists who also hit him feel but my heart goes out to them.

It’s a pity he didn’t survive and could be prosecuted for trauma caused to motorists, as it is he has effectively got away with it. I won’t apologise for that comment (before do gooders and saddos respond :unamused: ) but would just like to add…

If you want to end your life DON’T involve other people!!!

Its sad but to be fair I don’t understand how someone can be so selfish. Taking your own life is hard enough and harder still on your immediate family but thats clearly messed up that lorry driver who initially hit him plus the others who ran him over afterwards surely. Its like people who walk out in front of trains, causes chaos and messes the driver up mentally aswell. Theres plenty of ways out but dragging innocent members of the public into it is just unfair. If needs be i dont understand why these people cant take themselves to a quiet spot and do the necessary to end it all. I have been at rock bottom and I know the pain of having nothing and nobody but there is hope for everyone, 4 years ago I was living in a hostel, my Mrs left me for someone else, i had no job, id lost my driving licence, i was homeless I couldnt have lost or got any worse but I managed to pick myself up from it. R.I.P

Poor driver, I don’t think I could ever kill myself, but if I did it would have to be alone and painless.

The reason there is no mention of the Lorry Driver is because it was the inquest of the person who committed suicide.
Condolences to all involved

In the frame of mind they are in they don’t see anything.

Their not in a normal state of mind like the rest of the world.

They therefore cant think oh lets go do this do that .
no point trying to drown cause I can swim jumping off a cliff wont mean I’ll die but you can bet your bottom dollar jumping in front of a train or car or truck normally results in limited pain and almost instant death.
oh and hanging don’t always work unless its done right.

Sympathies to all concerned

no one thinking logically wants to involve anyone else but someone who feels they want to end their life is not thinking logically

shows how bright you are on the subject …
Any death be it natural or suicide or even accidental INVOLVEs others in all cases ie police medical coroner family , so your answer is flawed .

An awful, tragic event which has in all likelihood traumatised many other innocents in its wake. The guy was clearly intelligent, but I guess in his state of deep despair was incapable of considering the knock-on implications that his actions would inevitably cause to the poor motorists who were so shockingly drawn into it. I dont think that selfishness is really a factor - just an unreasoning resolve to end his own torment. Having said that, there were many other “exit” options that would have spared these people the horror of bearing witness. Overdose might have been a more private way? No happy endings here either. My empathies go out to all who were party to this - I hope that they can gradually put this behind them and move on (especially our trucking comrade). Condolences to the man`s colleagues and loved ones. RIP fella. :frowning:

This happened to one of our O/D’s on the A38 outside Swinfen Prison many years ago. Guy hired a car from Burton on Trent, overtook the truck, pulled into the lay-by and jumped out under the truck which was loaded with tarmac. Truck was impounded for a day or so while it was checked for faults.
My brother is a train driver and one of the rail workers jumped in front of his train at a station, his father had recently passed away and he couldn’t cope with it so topped himself. Upset our youth for a while, he has had a couple more since then but they have been at night so he didn’t actually see them hit. He told me that you know something has been struck by the engine when you see passengers fainting on the platform when you pull into a station! Then the ‘clean up gang’ get to work.

Looking at things pedantically then nearly everything you read is going to be flawed.

There have been 2 not too far from me on the Sheffield Parkway 1 died 1 survived and was in intensive care.

I know these people don’t think logically and are probably not mentally stable at the time. It was a general statement not intended for nit pickers eyes!

I just came over as callous with the other statements as you now say …

I know these people don’t think logically and are probably not mentally stable at the time

but in your previous statements

He will rot in hell with a bit of luck :evil: Faizel Vohra had no considerations for an innocent driver when he decided to end it! Very selfish and cowardly. I can’t imagine how the lorry driver feels or the other motorists who also hit him feel but my heart goes out to them.

It’s a pity he didn’t survive and could be prosecuted for trauma caused to motorists, as it is he has effectively got away with it. I won’t apologise for that comment (before do gooders and saddos respond :unamused: ) but would just like to add…

So In one statement your wishing them

to rot in hell

and the next you understand … complete contradiction…

.
Edited and post deleted as even talked myself into a corner. It’s a thorny old subject!

And would it qualify him for the 20 virgins :laughing:

rubbish! Not wanting to live can be a rational decision even if do gooders think otherwise. Dying is an inevitable outcome so choosing how and when does not make a person crazy. Things like this wouldn’t happen if they would legalise the choice to end a life quickly and painlessly

as for the driver, tomorrow is another day

Theres a world of difference between choosing a "dignitas" style ending of your own life if trapped in the living nightmare of, say, "locked-in syndrome", to chucking yourself into the path of an artic on the limiter, because your missus has ditched you for some other bloke. The former is a calm and rational decision, the latter is a decision made somewhat more impulsively whilst not in a stable mode of thinking. I see no good reason why example (a) cant be sympathetically state sanctioned through due legal process, but people cant be supported in topping themselves willy-nilly because theyre on a huge but temporary downer. As torment will never, ever end in life, but Bs emotional pain will subside and heal in the fullness of time… I think.
