Heard that a woman jumped off the A61 bridge near the college last night. Not seen anything on the net.

At 10pm last night The road was blocked at T**** roundabout by the police and by the council at Horns Bridge.
You could get on at the Chesterfield Hotel.
The police had got the bridge on Durrant Road taped off on the left hand side as you drove down towards the railway.
Rumour has it that a young woman had gone over the bridge and landed on a car on the Inner relief road. As to did she jump or was she pushed, no news yet.

It's sad. Many people have been talked down from jumping but few actually do it. Makes you wonder what drove her to this

You never know who you are talking to.
Our boss had an account with this firm for diesel.
I was speaking to the owner the day before he was arrested, totally oblivious of what had gone on  :o
