RIP Stephanie Bottrill.
To add one point I have only seen one other commenter make. I feel great sympathy, not only for her friends and relatives, but also for the lorry driver involved. I suspect he/she could become another victim of the WCA.
Just the other day something went down at a Broadland Housing Association office in Norwich. There was nothing is the paper about which is weird because there were dozens of police outside.

Great point.
I very much doubt this is actually the first.
Just the first to get mainstream media attention.
I think that a lot has been hushed up till now.

Thanks for letting me know. I wish there was a way to find out more!
And there is more…
