Road Traffic Accident

**stepheno** · 01-07-2006, 22:52

Just finished dinner and heard a bang. Rushed outside with camera and the megane had pinned two people up againsts a wall. Football had finished so about twenty people were standing and sitting outside the pub - could have been a lot worse but one of them is in a bad way. I felt a bit guilty taking photos at a time like that. Anyway, emailed the local paper and we'll see what happens next.

Could have been nasty.

Found myself in a similar situation with a road accident but couldn't bring myself to take any shots.

Now I didn't expect you to pick up tips that quickly from GB. Hope everyone was OK.

My wife knows most people in our village so we'll hear soon enough.

Well done, good luck with the paper.

Thanks Gary. I've not heard back and publication is lunchtime so I'm giving that one up. Funny thing though there was no other photographer there.

You never know, they might still be trying to get interview with crash victims

Update - there was a small para in tonights paper. Then the news desk phoned me about 5pm and asked me to email the photos. Looks like might be i tomorrow. No news yet about the injured though.

Just like buses.....nothing , then 2 of you. Your magic must be rubbing off GB & fingers crossed Stepheno

Update - good news all round, nobody died or critical although one man will be recuperating for 6 months (steel plates) They used half the front page for the article and used shots #3 and #6 - I'm well pleased.

So will you receive any money for the use of your images?

Congrats, it's a good feeling to see your stuff in print isn't it, I still get a real buzz from it after about 20 years.
