Ok swaggers,
I am asking everyone to be extra safe on the roads and to be aware of your surroundings.
This morning on his way to work, my Boss had a fatal car accident involving a large truck and has passed away.
He was a fantastic guy and always had nice things to say. He was always there to talk to and always there to support everyone who worked with him.
He drove this road everyday for years at the same times, and although it was confirmed it was not his fault it shows just how quickly things happen.
So please PLEASE be careful and be aware whilst driving.
Cheers

Well said, Evo.
You must be feeling the sudden loss of someone you have known for a fair while, and the knowledge of the changes that necessarily place on the workplace.
My sympathies for you and the mans family.

Very well said evo, unfortunately those roads out there have way too many accidents like this happen.
Everyone should take care when driving on country roads, never know who or what will be ahead.

Condolences Evo.

Sadly in the wrong place at the wrong time. You never know.

Thanks guys, hasn't really sunk in yet.........
Terrible thing to happen to such a nice guy thats for sure.
bottom line, please be aware of cars around you as you don't have to be doing the wrong thing to end up in tragedy.
Cheers

Hi Evo
We do not believe in ever losing people, as in our way, if you remember someone, and think of them as well as talk about them fondly, they are not lost, simply gone to their next existence. We are a spiritual, not religious, people, and believe that the spirit goes to join their Ancestors.
It is still a very sad thing for someone to lose this life in such a way.....our thoughts are with you.

Sorry to hear Evo. You are right. We need to be vigilant on the roads these days. I myself am on the road for a major part of the day between repair jobs and can understand how silly mistakes can lead to unfortunate incidents. Take care.
Cheers

Sorry to hear.
I was just saying to my wife last night that life can change in an instant, and how true it is, as sad as it is.
-
Thanks guys,
I really do feel for his family at this point. It must be incredibly tough to loose someone so close like that.
It will be interesting to see what the official report says when it comes out to find out what caused the whole lot. After speaking to the local plod, we have a fair idea though.
Sorry to hear.

pretty much spot on mate, life is finite. So why rush???
And TJ, I think your right mate.

sorry to hear of the man's family loss Evo.it is one of my biggest fears driving B - Doubles, having someone end up underneath me.
-
That is shocking mate. I can't imagine how everyone is feeling. Condolences to everyone.
-
Sh1t mate, that is terrible news.
Yours and your boss's families have my condolences.
-
That's no good at all. Sorry for your loss.
Everyone stay safe.

Coming home from work today the road was blocked by a truck accident. I was in a truck and couldn't be turned around so I sat while the ambo's pulled the driver out. It appeared that the driver was ok but I'm not sure. It was a single vehicle (B double) accident and have no idea what happened. It was a straight stretch of road and there was a bit of rain around, but I wouldn't have thought enough to cause an accident. Just goes to show can happen anywhere at any time.

As a volunteer in the country fire service in Sa for the past 10 years, I have been to far too many fatal accidents, it is unfortunate at any time, more unfortunate is that the majority have not been the deceased to blame.
My belated condolences Evo.

And unfortunately that seems to be a common thing. I remember when I was young and stupid, yes we did stupid things in cars, and yes looking back it wasn't the smartest thing to do. But we never put anyone else in danger. Driving where your mistakes impact others on the road is something that everyone should be aware of.

My condolences Evo - I'd missed this thread till now. Sorry to hear this story, it's very sad. He sounds like he was a fantastic boss and a great mentor. All the best to his family and friends over the tough months and years ahead.
I think we all need a reminder every now and then, to back off and take it easy on the roads. I know I'll certainly be more mindful now.
Thanks for sharing your story, though no doubt it still pains you to talk about it.
