Explosion in Shoreham

[perseus]

Give way to oncoming vehicles




Going east. Driver and passenger did a bunk. Passenger still running. Kids took a video, so this might be published later.

Beirut is Southwick south of the railway line.

Old Fort Road always looked a bit posh when you drove by - some really nice houses but a bit bleak in the winter I would think

shoreham beach is a town of its own ..least they like to think that way....might as well be with no footbridge and the time it takes to get over the norfolk bridge some days

All feeling parochial. Shoreham Beach is now called Isle of Shoram, bit like Canvey and Pompey, cf. Purbeck.

Conspiracy theory says the van was carrying explosives designed to blow up the Royal Coach and make a river tributary to cut off the Beach from the mainland.

Dog unit, of course, to track down the fugitive.

North of the Upper Shoreham Road is the only place to be in Shoreham-by-Sea.

There are many big old places above the Red Lion.... Lesser Foxholes area..... the beach has posh people, but its not really all that anymore... maybe thirty years ago.

How can anywhere with the nickname "Share 'em" have a posh bit

Deluded but you agree with it?

Said in semi-jest. No offence meant

Depends which way the wind is blowing. And it makes a nice change from the seagulls squawking.

Duo hurt as firework van explodes From The Argus)

Two men suffered burns after one threw the end of a cigarette into a pile of fireworks in their van.

The pair were driving in Shoreham when they lost control of the vehicle and crashed off the road.

One of the men then discarded his lit cigarette into the back of the van, which was filled with fireworks.

Fuel, the cigarette and the bangers combined and the van was soon engulfed in flames as fireworks started to go off.

Witnesses described hearing the fireworks “explode” following the incident in Middle Road at 3.20pm on Friday, November 9, outside a park.

One of the people in the van was named locally as 22-year-old Omar Wright, who was taken to hospital.

His 16-year-old sister, Jerrilee Wright, of Adelaide Square, Shoreham, said her brother was taken in for treatment to see if he needed a skin graft.

Jerrilee said she initially feared her brother had been killed.

She said: “His arms have been burnt but his face was scorched.

“His arm tattoo has been burnt off.

“He was with another man called Dale.

“I think they crashed and one of them lit a cigarette and it started the fire. His mini motorbike and fireworks were in the back.”

A witness said: “I was down the road and I could see the flames.

“There was banging and I could hear the fireworks exploding in the van.”

Kelly Ratcliffe, who lives with her partner Matt Knight in Middle Road, Shoreham, ran outside after hearing a bang.

Mr Knight said: “She said the van went up after it hit a post.”

A Sussex Police spokesman confirmed they attended the incident and “fireworks and fuel” were involved.

A West Sussex Fire and Rescue spokesman added: “There was a fire and fireworks were involved.

“The van and motorcycle in it were 100% damaged.

“Two breathing apparatus were used. It was accidental ignition and two men suffered burns.”

Yesterday the area was marked off by cones.

The ground was scorched and a pole was taped off.

I deduced this is what might have happened. The Argus report corresponds with the eye witness and partly hearsay reports. Both got out of the car (=bunk). Witnesses said the driver was lying in the road.
