    I just heard that apparently, a cyclist and a biker were both killed in an accident on the Frome bypass yesterday. Did anyone else hear this? I hope it’s not true.

    The fatal accident that closed the road for most of the day involved a car and van, 6 young people died. Terribly sad and my thoughts are with the families.

    Don't know whether there was another accident, I certainly hope not.
    It's all about the ride!

    There's a couple of bouquets laid out on the side of the road about a half mile from the A362 junction, Glastonbury bound.
    Tis a big long and clear stretch of road.

    Everything else is shyte

    Eek. Was on that very road at quarter to five on Friday!

    You do see some idiotic things though. Driving while on mobiles, not indicating, not checking mirrors, ignoring the 30mph limit in Rode, specially around the church bend where that farm entance is. Got cut up back in the winter on the beckington dual carriageway by a woman in a bmw who didnt use the right lane at the oldford roundabout and didnt look in her mirrors or indicate when changing lanes to go to trowvegas. Really are some morons about.

    Very sad to hear. Biker from Westbury & cyclist from Frome according to online reports.

    RIP both
