I always worry about drink and drugs and it was so sad to read the article. Poor lad and family, I worry about my boys just the same.

The inquest heard how Mr Simpson, a warehouse worker, was nine times over the legal limit for cannabis at the time of his death and no other vehicles were involved.


RIP.

Very sad, RIP, however I can't help feeling glad he was the only one involved in the incident. I feel sorry for the people first on scene and the chap who gave CPR to no avail, as they will likely be traumatised for a long while over the accident.

I wonder why nothing was spotted while he was on shift if he was at that level?

9 times over the legal limit for cannabis? I would have thought the legal limit for cannabis was zero?! Either way, there isn't a day goes by when i don't smell it when i'm out and about in Chippenham, is it me, or just Chippenham, or just the widespread use of cannabis now?

I gave Elliot my old GSXR plastics a few years ago and was really sad when I heard he'd died.
I was gutted when I read this.
Not just because he was a nice lad but because it was easily preventable.
We all have done stupid things in the folly of youth and are lucky to be able to still be here to regret it.
Now the inquest is out of the way I hope his family are able to get some kind of closure.

Is completely preventable but didn't you know its cool nowadays to smoke up in public? . . . . . . Just doesn't sound right!
