Dreadfully sad if true.
Traffic at a standstill as the stretch of road is closed in both directions.

So sad if true.

Heard about this earlier, terrible.
Feel for anyone involved.

Someone jumped off the Pentre Rd bridge. Dreadful. They diverted the M4 traffic through the Bont for a few hours.

Dreadful. I hope the person can now Rest In Peace and their family and friends find the strength and support they need to deal with this tragic incident.

Awfully sad someone feels so bad that its their only way out.

The wife was telling me that in Japan, if someone commits suicide, their family would be held responsible for any costs incurred because of it. So you get hit by depression and do the unthinkable as that's all they feel they can do and at the same time bankrupt their family.
