Tigers at Layer Road 21:11 - Sep 23 with 66392 views

In a strange twist of events l found myself in conversation with a young lady who had attended Layer Road for a match against Hull City in our first season in The Championship. The 5-1 encounter.

We were attending a promo evening for a band called The Datsuns in North London in 2008.

During the evening she explained that she had been present at a party that made the national news due to the tragic death of someone by the name of Mark Blanco.

The incident occurred in December 2006.

This incident will be shown on Channel 4 on Monday night at 22.00 in an hour long documentary and several people known to me have made contributions.

It may be of interest to some.

I am very much hoping that the police will reinvestigate the death of Mark Blanco as a result of what will be included in the content.

I know that what l was told by this young lady 15 years ago has been instrumental in the making of this documentary.

I've only just heard about the terrible car accident in Magdalen Street early this morning in which four people were killed. The car hit what used to be Carter's second hand building and has caused huge damage. The vehicle was unrecognisable. It must have been travelling at very high speed.

Just spoke to someone who lives nearby and was woken in the early hours by what appeared to be an explosion....sounds as though the deceased are possibly teenagers.

I can't recall a town ( city? ) centre motor accident on the scale of this in Colchester.

I've just come back from the scene of the accident in Magdalen Street.

Local and National media are there. To the Eastern elevation of the building there is a fenced off area where the demolished parts of the building are piled almost 10 feet high. This includes the original support beams, pipes, gutters, bricks and roof tiles.

The impact was on the North West elevation and it appears that another property back towards the town centre was also struck.
