journo clearly aiming for a job with the Wail. The people were injured by the car. The driver was un-fking-concious!

I passed through the hall at around 9.30 am and all was fine at that time.

I supopose there is always the potential for this type of incident when you are allowing Joe Public access to the cars.

Trust me, don't go there, you'll end up sounding like an idiot. Read the story on the other thread.

I didn't spot that.

However, I don't frequent "General Gassing" often and it's not on my list of "Favourites".

I suppose it's one of the upshots of the multi-forum world we now inhabit on PH.

I'm glad it seems everyone was OK. As I said earlier, when I walked through on Thursday morning the crowds were fairly thin and it didn't seem particularly "dangerous" to me - no worse than an Asda car park on a Saturday morning (in fact, less dangerous).

However, even though it turns out that the driver was one of the staff rather than a member of the general public, it does raise the question of having cars moving about in a busy enclosed space, on a hot day.

it happened around lunchtime. from what i heard the driver of the car fainted because of the heat inside the tent.

it was just one of those unfortunate incidents which sometimes happens. the guy wasnt driving like a tw*t. as he fainted his foot hit the throttle & there was nothing anyone could do to stop the accident happening.
