Our church, our home groups and individuals are praying for the sad family of a lady who was drowned this week. The car that she was in was waiting on the slipway for the King Harry Ferry, only a mile or two from our village.
The man with her had got out of the car to take a photo, when the car began to roll forward and went into the water. Even though it is by the shore, the water is very deep and the car simply went down.
Although a local man tried desperately to reach her by diving over and over again, he wasn't successful.
Rescue services, ambulances and helicopters were soon on he scene.
The sadness locally can be felt.
Hi Elizabeth, that is such a sad story the poor man must be feeling wretched,what an awful thing to happen.
ReplyDeleteI feel it is to awful to comment about but My thoughts are with all concerned
ReplyDeleteThe man lost his wife and two dogs. Three lives lost. The family must be devastated.

Incredibly sad! We had a similar incident near here recently - hard to believe that these things can happen. My heart goes out to those families!
ReplyDeleteSo terribly sad - thoughts and prayers especially for her husband.
ReplyDeleteOh how sad that is, I've already said a prayer for them.
ReplyDeleteA car went off a ferry on Gabriola Island here on Monday - very, very sad for everyone.
ReplyDeleteThat is so sad. What an awful tragedy. x
ReplyDeleteSo sad. Pondside has already mentioned about the car going off the ferry in our area. Praying for comfort.
ReplyDeleteTerribly sad he must feel wretched. My son witnessed a fatality last week when a pedestrian was knocked over by a car, he and his friends prayed at the roadside while the emergency services arrived, the man did not die immediately so we hope he would have known someone cared.

This is so tragic. My thoughts go out to everyone concerned.
ReplyDeleteHow dreadful. I've actually taken the King Harry Ferry, and thought it was beautiful. Who could have dreamt that something so tragic could happen.
ReplyDeleteWhat a tragedy - I feel so bad for him being left to always feel guilty I'm sure. The man who tried to save that lady was very brave - he too must feel so sad that he failed in his efforts.
ReplyDeleteLife is strange and can be taken so quickly when least expected.
Blessings to you dear.
