Glenelg U/19 player killed in road smash

[Uncle Steve]

Just caught this on the news this evening and nearly choked on my dinner.

Driving along Tapleys Hill Road last night - the curvy bit near the airport, judging from the news footage - a Glenelg U/19 footballer lost control, crossed the median strip and got taken out by a truck. Don't know if he was killed instantly, but what was left of his car suggests so to me.

I didn't catch the kid's name - was too busy choking - but it sounds like it was the kid who got BOG last week. I've already thrown out my Sunday Mail so can't look up his name.

Glenelg U/19s are yet to decide whether or not they'll play tomorrow. I suspect that they will. Best of luck to you lads.

Sad news.
Condolences to all.
Good luck to all Glenelg players tomorrow in what must be a tough situation.

Wow, thats really sad news. Best of luck to his family during this tough time, and good luck to his team mates, who will probably find it tough to play without him, especially in the first match without him.

That was really sad..and the car was pretty smashed up. The under 19's team got belted as well..not what you really like to see is it
