And how many people died in cars that day that got no coulumn inches at all because it's not even news worthy?
'Bout a hundred if my memory serves me ok.
Only a small handful, in fact. There are between 3,000 and 4,000 people killed on British roads each year, of which a significant proportion are pedestrians and cyclists.
Now if you include the ones that were merely crippled for life, the numbers go up a lot...
