Default What happened in clacton today? Dodgy?

Was working in clacton, saw some dodgy old boy run through the station and done a leap over the fence and off.. Didnt think much. Suddenly old bill flying about, Air ambulance and police helicopter. Spoke to the old bill who said it was serious but wouldnt say exactly. The three of us said we saw some guy leg it and we gave a contact number.

Anyone have any news?

first time id ever been. Did seem rough as...

So you aint heard anything? I am interested as I was in and around as it was happening. Hope not one too seriously hurt. Can only imagine a stabbing or shooting.

But I dont live in the area so wont see any local news etc.

I have read now, it was a 9 year old boy run down by a honda Civic. He has life threatening injuries.

Poor little fella. Hope they caught the fooker who did it.

We were popping to Morrisons in Clacton on way home after visiting my Aunt in Frinton and came across a road all cordoned off and wondered what had happened, sadly just found out the boy died RIP little fella

imho..your description doesnt fit the arrests..

"A 24-year-old man and a 23-year-0ld man have been arrested in connection with the accident."

Mate it happened near the station.
