At around 08:50GMT yesterday (25/12/12) there was a multiple vehicle accident on the I-40 in Oklahoma, USA. Although reminiscent of the UK's Environmental Science Club motorway pile-up of November 2011 there were no fatalities. Shortly afterwards my mother's wife received a telephone call from one of her legal circle who happens to be the duty Coroner for the Isle of Wight/South Hampshire, UK saying something along the lines of; "I have terrible news, I'll tell you tomorrow." Then at around 10:00 there was a fatal road accident on the B3349 in which a husband and wife were killed near Basingstoke in Hampshire. However nobody really noticed this because everybody was hopelessly focused on what was actually a very small car crash on the M6 near Stoke-on-Trent at around 11:25. Although this was just one family car crashing and overturning the authorities felt the need to close the M6 motorway in both directions between junctions 14 and 15 so they could bring in multiple air ambulances to attempt to save the family. They partially failed because the mother and her two sons (4&6) died while the father and a mother-in-law remain in hospital.
In the south of England alone there have also been fatal road accidents in Oxford, Dorset and Suffolk. So you know how I was saying you've been drinking all day but can't feel the effects well;
You are still too drunk to drive.
