A Death near Castle Coombe I just wonder if anyone going to Castle Coombe this week could spare a thought for my cousin Tom Mitchell. Last Wednesday evening he was killed whilst riding his Orange Kawasaki ZX10R, Some people in the Bristol area may have came across him whilst out and about and he was a regular at Abergavenny, (he was never one to shy away from the lime light). He was travelling along the B4040 at Acton Turvill on a straight piece of road when it appears something went wrong with the back of the bike ie broken chain,tyre blow out etc. He had done a track day earlier and knowing Tom had pretty well cooked his tyres. What ever went wrong the result was that he left the road and ended up crashing through trees killing him instantly. He was only 23, as is usual flowers and an Police accident board mark the spot. |
