I believe all the victims have been identified and their families informed.I'm sure everyone's thoughts will be with all the families and friends of the victims.

Im thinking possibly excessive speed played a major factor, given the stretch of road it happened along, the age group of the victims, the time of day it occured and wreckage (or rather lack of).

If thats the case, I have no sympathy for them, even moreso for anyone not wearing a seatbelt - just glad they didnt hit any innocent road users, but the poor tree!

Wow... just got back from Donington park for the weekend to find this.

Really sad news, and a lot of my mates from Neston are best friends with the victims frown

RIP the lot of 'em.

I see where the Rover 214 comment came from - looking at his Facebook profile, it said that John drove a Rover 214 and was into cars and 'interior mods' - he must have been going at some speed, its a 40 limit IIRC and at that speed, he couldnt have done so much damage. I just hope the families of the other victims can forgive him.

I wonder whose car it was.
