The man who was seriously injured in a car crash in Point on Tuesday, has sadly died of his injuries in hospital in Stornoway.
The Russian freighter Mekhanik Semakov is still anchored in Broad Bay, accompanied by the Coastguard tug Anglian Prince and a sister ship. Apparently, the ship was compelled to accept the tow on orders from the Government in London. Not doing so would have imperilled the coastline and people of the Isle of Skye. The ship had lost engine power and was drifting towards shore.
How sad. It was dreadful about that family of six killed a couple of days back. Childhood sweethearts, they died with their three young sons and their baby daughter who was only a few weeks old. The portuguese lorry driver who rammed into them has been in court charged with dangerous driving.
