    I hear a biker from Purton lost his life on the Warminster bypass yesterday and another is in hospital. A bunch of 5 friends on their way to Poole.

    RIP to the Purton lad and GWS to the other

    Not nice to hear. We all take a risk as soon as we hop on our bikes or climb into our cars.
    Heart goes out to both families

    Very sad.

    Our condolences to his family & friends.

    Happened on a fast, striaght bit of A road next to a lay-by.
    Just them and a car involved driven by a 79yo.

    Should not judge just on this alone I know, but 79 is pushing it to still be driving for most people.

    I wondered if that had happened, I go down that road daily and have seen people try that there before.
    It's to fast a road and on a curve to try that, I've seen some near misses before.
    The right hand turn (to the Skirmish place in the wood) opposite is also really bad. You see people stopped waiting to turn right there - frightening.
