Oh God. How absolutely awful. The poor family.

I used to live close to Purton and it's a road that I know well. I won't speculate on fault here but it's one of those roads that turns into a long running pinch point because of all of the cars that get parked along there. At the time that this incident happened this would definitely have been an issue. Once again the expedience of car drivers will have trumped the safety of other road users and no one will give it a second thought.

Very tragic incident. Posting in part in case anyone knows anyone in the area who might have witnessed the incident and not yet made contact with the police.
