Thanks, dad, for saving my life
i YOUNG Clitheroe ccident victim had an xtra special message or his lorry driver ather when he returned lome from hospital: ‘Thanks, dad, you've laved my life.” The emotional reun-
on came after a million- o-one accident, involv- ng a Ribble Cement anker driven by Mr Raymond Cox (38), of Ubemarle Street, and a :ar in which his son, dark (17), was a pas senger. Mark, one of four
ecnagers injured in the smash on the A59 Long- sight Road, near Rib- fe s te r Road, Clayton- le-Dale, said: “ If it hadn’t been for my dad risking his own life by swerving into the ditch, I’m sure we would all have been killed.” It was not until Mr

Cox ran over to the mangled wreckage of the car that he realised his son was a passenger. Said Mark: “I was on
the rear seat, hanging out of the window when my dad arrived. He pul led me out on the road. He was more shocked about the accident than I was." Mark’s mother, Mau
reen, added; “He's cer- tainlv lucky to be alive.
Only nine months ago he was in a road accident in Wellgate. “He was in a coma for
six days after that acci dent and laid up with a broked legfrom Septem ber to January." It was a birthday
celebration that turned sour for Mark and his friends, whose Chrysler Sunbeam ear collided side-oil with the tanker. Tile ear overturned and skidded along the road on its roof for about 80 yards. Mark, a sales assistant
with Kectella, received a chipped elbow and cuts to his face and
body. Jeremy Massey, of
