Title: Girl killed using a Landy roof as a sledge
Post by: JumboBeef on February 04, 2009, 10:15:46

Teenage girl dies in sledge crash. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/south_yorkshire/7868765.stm)

Very sad.

Quote

The girls had been using an improvised metal sledge, believed to have been made from an upturned Land Rover roof, which is understood to have gone through a barbed wire fence.

I'm guessing a hard top from a series 88.  I bet it would have gone very fast and been impossible to get off.

Very sad indeed but the TV news made a big deal of the roof coming from a 4x4 - another dig !  :roll:

A tragic loss indeed. My sympathies are with the family.
