Railing Crash Kills Woman and Child on Scottish Bridge
A car hit an 80ft cliff edge railing on Bluther Burn Bridge in Scotland at about 90mph, killing a woman and a child. Three other occupants were injured as the steel balustrade thwarted a plunge, while the car weighed about two tons with five people aboard. The railing was not built to resist such impact. In Canberra several crashes saw vehicles break through Commonwealth Bridge rails into Lake Burley Griffin, prompting design plans for tubular steel safety rails on both Commonwealth and Kings Avenue bridges with installation possible in three months.
