South Shields supporters crash A1(M)

[Scootsie]

A relative of mine was the driver.

He is home now and resting.

All very, very lucky.

If that's the stretch of the A1 that goes by Pontefract where there's a petrol station right on the side of the road, it's a terrible piece of road that. Accident waiting to happen

Hope all on board make a speedy recovery

I always find people start speeding up in anticipation of the motorway starting after the dual carriage way.

from the drone footage that was posted on one of the threads about it earlier on it looked as though it was north of the roadworks where the m62 joins the a1(m)

hope they all recover from their injuries.

Just past the slip road north of Darrington.

Just found out two very good friends of mine, brothers and Sunderland fans, were injured in the accident and are in hospital in Leeds

I should’ve read the full article thought this was about the south sheilds Sunderland branch

Not actual south Sheilds fans group

That's good news mate!

We met a group of their fans at Wetherby going down coming out of their van. That must have been them. Unless there was more than one van? Hopefully everything OK.

3 cars involved in the accident, police are looking for a white car that was involved in the collision and left the scene without stopping.

That’s the gist of it! Car fkd off after causing the domino effect

You have to be a special type of scumbag to drive off leaving 17 people behind (potentially dying).

They'll be caught, charged and given a 6 month driving ban and £500 fine.

One of the passengers on the radio this am saying that, along with the help of drivers that had obviously stopped, they lifted the busboff a lad who was trapped underneath

 

[Sgt Pepper]

Absolute miracle there have been no fatalities, thank god. Quite a sobering thought when you think about travel to away games, or more specifically coming back, when the buses (certainly the ones I’ve travelled on) are often carnage with most of the lads especially towards the back all stood grouped together having a laugh and singing or people kneeling over their seats talking to the person behind. Nobody seems to bother with a seatbelt.

One of the injured is a Sunderland season ticket holder

 

[MONTYMCPHAIL]

Hearing rumours that one of the cars involved was also thought to have been hassling a mini bus full of Sunderland fans prior to the incident
