All

I'm trying to cope with my parents death that took place on 22nd January 2023 on the M40, at around 8am, south bound, both died at the scene instantly with the same injuries, a vauxhall insignia first hit them, then a coach hit them where our C class merc hybrid caught fire, passers by took my parents out and the car went up in a ball of fire. If anyone did see anything, please could you let me know, there is a youtube vid of the merc on fire from the north bound, but its not that clear.

It just helps me talk to people on this forum, a few of my car pics below too as some know me on here.

My whole life has taken a turn with me helpless.

So sorry to hear of your loss, deepest sympathy and hope you can get the full facts to what happened.

 

very sorry to here this indy .

i cant even comprehend how you are feeling mate .my thoughts are with you and your family and may your parents rest in peace

 

Truly Terrible I have no words, may you and the family have strength to get through this

 

Thankyou all for your kind words it does mean alot, it feels like a very bad dream. It's been 6 weeks now and still feels like yesterday when the police turned up. The cars are keeping me a bit busy and my 9 year old daughter, however I just cant process it and the shock.

The M40 doesn't have sufficient cameras and police are relying on others for any dash cam/etc, it's madness with how many cameras there everywhere are if you drive in the bus lane or park on a double, yet both my parents died in in a horrific crash near junction 4-5 with no cameras.

 

Hard times, can't imagine the grief. Take care.x

 

So sorry for yours and your families loss mate.
