Accident sends shockwaves through community
9:00am Monday 25th August 2008
Comments (176) Have your say »
A HAMPSHIRE community is today in mourning after an 11-year-old girl and her stepdad died in a motorbike crash.
Terry Stubbs and his stepdaughter Channon were killed after the motorbike they were travelling on collided with a car on the busy A326 near Dibden Purlieu.
The double fatality has devastated a family and sent shockwaves through an entire Waterside community.
And as police today continue to probe the cause of the accident, council chiefs have called for an examination of the road's safety.
Emergency crews rushed to the scene on Saturday morning as the full horror of the crash unfolded.
Traffic came to a standstill as an air ambulance landed on the road, near Beaulieu Road roundabout. But the pair had died at the scene and the driver of the Toyota Corolla car was rushed to Southampton General Hospital with serious injuries.
The female driver's condition is unknown.
Yesterday, dozens of griefstricken friends and relatives arrived at the tragic spot to lay flowers and tributes.
Tearful pals of Channon and Terry comforted each other by the side of the road as they struggled to come to terms with what had happened the day before.
Some left cuddly toys while another left a copy of one of Channon's favourite CDs.
A constant stream of friends and relatives pulled up in the lay-by opposite to pay their respects and leave heartfelt messages.
One card read simply: "You did not deserve to die and I am thinking about you every minute."
Another said: "Dear Channon, we will be missing you always and you will remain in our hearts for ever."
The Daily Echo understands that the 11-year-old had just finished at Cadland Primary School and was about to enrol at Hardley School in September.
Friends said she was a "sweet and happy" girl who liked music and was a popular face around Fawley where the family lived.
Her mum Nicole was too devastated to speak last night.
Alexis McEvoy, New Forest District councillor for Fawley, said residents were in shock at news of the double death.
She told the Daily Echo: "It is yet another terrible tragedy that has hit the community and everybody is devastated by it.
"For such a young girl to lose her life is just too terrible to speak of. I just send my deepest sympathy and condolences to the mum, brother, family and friends and hope in time they can come to terms with it."
The tragic incident has led to calls for the stretch of road, nicknamed the longest, busiest cul-de-sac in Hampshire, to be changed from a single to a dual carriageway.
Dibden Purlieu councillor Malcolm Wade sent his condolences to those families involved and said he believed action should be taken to make the well-used road safer.
He said: "It is a very sad and tragic accident and unfortunately there have been a number of accidents along this stretch of road because it is so well used.
"If we want to make it really safe we need to look at putting in better crossing points and making the road a dual carriageway."
Police are continuing to appeal for the driver of a lorry to come forward who they say directly witnessed the incident.
Anyone with information should contact police on 0845 045 4545.
Anyone who witnessed the collision should contact Totton Roads Policing Unit on 0845 045 45 45.

The shock has devastated the whole family and has come on top of other recent tragic events.
We hope the lady driver of the car involved recovers completely and our thoughts go out to her family and friends.
May we reiterate the advises given by some readers to be more than careful on the roads.
God bless you all. H and GA

You have no respect, two people have died in tragic circunstances and a third is in hospital. Have some consideration for the feelings of the bereaved.
Motorcyclists, car drivers, pushbike riders all have accidents and all should take more care and look out for each other. The report does not contain any details of exactly what happened so don't start pointing the finger of blame just beacuse you do not like motorcyclists.
My thoughts & prayers are with the families of those involved

Poor old car drivers getting pee'd off about getting overtaken by bikers. They use less fuel, are more fun & you don't get held up in traffic. All big plusses in my book.
By the way this is not a book of condolences, please do not inflict your mawkish behaviour upon us. Grieve in private!

Sorry Dan Leonard, but your Mums storu just doesn't hang true. What tanker would stop on a roundabout to let someone get on to the roundabout (assuming that it actually happened on the roundabout). They is an unofficial lay by about 100m down from the roundabout, was she pulling out across the traffic from that? Why did the tanker stop? Car should wait until there is a gap in the traffic or go down to the next roundabout a mile away!

I hope people who have left heartless messages dont loose loved ones in a tragic accident like this because u will soon regret commenting on this familys loss.
i am driver and have never ridden a motorbike in my life, however as a driver if i see a motorbike in my rear view mirror or coming towards me on the opposite side of the road i will make sure i move over to give them plenty of room!!! This is part of having respect of other road users wether it be a motorbike, cyclist, bus, tanker etc... its not hard as a car driver just to move across the road slightly to allow a little more room for motorcyclist. Everyone has accidents, they wouldnt be called accidents otherwise!
Also to all those people who are trying to pin point as to who is to blame, get over it, what is done is done, we cant change the past only learn from our mistakes, i understand people have lost loved ones however im sure they are trying to grieve at this moment and the last thing that is on their mind is to pin point who is to blame. All ROAD USERS INSTEAD OF THINKING ABOUT WHO IS TO BLAME THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN DO NOW TO STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN!!!
My Condonlences go out to the family who have lost their loved ones. Although they are not here in person they will always be with u in spirit RIP X

This is a poem for Bikers & it wouldn't hurt for our four wheel users to read either.
quote
I saw you, hug your purse closer to you in the supermarket store line.
But, you didn't see me, put an extra £10.00 in the collection plate last Sunday.
I saw you, pull your child closer when we passed each other on the pavement.
But, you didn't see me, playing Santa at the local hospital
I saw you, change your mind about going into the restaurant.
But, you didn't see me, attending a meeting to raise more money for the disabled riders.
I saw you, roll up your window and shake your head when I drove by.
But, you didn't see me, driving behind you when you flicked your cigarette butt out the car window.
I saw you, frown at me when I smiled at your children.
But, you didn't see me, when I took time off from work to run toys to the homeless.
I saw you, stare at my long hair.
But, you didn't see me, and my friends cut ten inches off for cancer relief.
I saw you, roll your eyes at our leather coats and gloves.
But, you didn't see me, and my brothers donate our old coats and gloves to those that had none.
I saw you, look in fright at my tattoos.
But, you didn't see me, cry as my children were born and have their name written over and in my heart.
I saw you, change lanes while rushing off to go somewhere.
But, you didn't see me, going home to be with my family.
I saw you, complain about how loud and noisy our bikes can be.
But, you didn't see me, when you were changing the CD and drifted into my lane.
I saw you, yelling at your kids in the car.
But, you didn't see me, pat my child's hands, knowing he was safe behind me.
I saw you, reading the newspaper or map as you drove down the road.
But, you didn't see me, squeeze my wife's leg when she told me to take the next turn.
I saw you, race down the road in the rain .
But, you didn't see me, get soaked to the skin so my son could have the car to go on his date.
I saw you, run the amber light just to save a few minutes of time.
But, you didn't see me, trying to turn right.
I saw you, cut me off because you needed to be in the lane I was in.
But, you didn't see me, leave the road.
I saw you, waiting impatiently for my friends to pass.
But, you didn't see me. I wasn't there.
I saw you, go home to your family.
But, you didn't see me. Because, I died that day you cut me off.
I was just a biker,.....
A person with friends and a family.
But, you didn't see me.

I am not stating that its anyone's fault. Not like the post before me. I am only stating my experience of bike riders on that road. It is well out of order for family or friends to start being judge and jury on a web site like this. What facts do you have ? Leave it to people who know their onions and who are not emotionally involved. You have a bare face cheek blaming anyone, when you are bias and do not have the full facts .

This is exactly the type of mentality that creates dangerous situations in the first place- Attitude!
Me, me, me & I want it now! Blame everyone else 'cos I am perfect.
Well it might come as a shock -you're not.
No-one is, which is exactly why more care, consideration & respect is required.
So care for those you love, they may be next.
Be considerate towards others- they might not care for your opinion either, & respect all life- it's precious & too short.
Let the fallen rest & pray that your god watches over you.
well done, hythe says...

But, you didn\\\\\\\'t see me, and my brothers donate our old coats and gloves to those that had none. I saw you, look in fright at my tattoos. But, you didn\\\\\\\'t see me, cry as my children were born and have their name written over and in my heart. I saw you, change lanes while rushing off to go somewhere. But, you didn\\\\\\\'t see me, going home to be with my family. I saw you, complain about how loud and noisy our bikes can be. But, you didn\\\\\\\'t see me, when you were changing the CD and drifted into my lane. I saw you, yelling at your kids in the car. But, you didn\\\\\\\'t see me, pat my child\\\\\\\'s hands, knowing he was safe behind me. I saw you, reading the newspaper or map as you drove down the road. But, you didn\\\\\\\'t see me, squeeze my wife\\\\\\\'s leg when she told me to take the next turn. I saw you, race down the road in the rain . But, you didn\\\\\\\'t see me, get soaked to the skin so my son could have the car to go on his date. I saw you, run the amber light just to save a few minutes of time. But, you didn\\\\\\\'t see me, trying to turn right. I saw you, cut me off because you needed to be in the lane I was in. But, you didn\\\\\\\'t see me, leave the road. I saw you, waiting impatiently for my friends to pass. But, you didn\\\\\\\'t see me. I wasn\\\\\\\'t there. I saw you, go home to your family. But, you didn\\\\\\\'t see me.

Our hearts & thoughts to those who are hurt & who have perished- Regardless of blame we are all road users & in our usage have a responsibility to each other. Enough blaming & ranting-We can all make mistakes- Thats what makes us human.

But, you didn't see me, put an extra £10.00 in the collection plate last Sunday. I saw you, pull your child closer when we passed each other on the pavement.

But, you didn't see me, attending a meeting to raise more money for the disabled riders. I saw you, roll up your window and shake your head when I drove by.

My sincere condolences and prayers to the family involved.
I too, as a motorist, will now drive with an increased awareness with regard to two wheeled road users. If all of us, whether on two wheels or four, do the same, we might just make the roads a slightly safer place.

My second thought is that if people like Gorf & Denzil are going to continue to post comments on sites like this (even if they are 'free' to make any comments they like) then the Echo ought to seriously consider whether allowing reactions to their stories should continue thus ensuring complete morons are not able to cause maximum pain and heartache.

This comment section has gone the same way as previous tragedies. Could the Echo not have two separate links on such reports, one for condolences and another for general discussion of the events? Maybe then we could avoid (or reduce) the flame wars and unnecessary distress to those involved.
I am emailing the editor to suggest this. If you agree, please do the same.

It helps them deal with their grief, their thoughts at that time are not really located in a coroners court. If it makes them feel better, let them do it. Most adults have worked this part of the grieving process out by now, Joe.

What are you debating? I see nobody rushing to either agree or disagree with you, but I do see a string of people telling you your posts are inappropriate, so it seems you are causing needless anxiety, and are indeed in violation of the Terms and Conditions of the site. Of course you have the "right" to say these things, and to tell people that their friend and relative who just died basically had it coming (which is exactly what you're doing, by the way) but a right does not make it appropriate behaviour.

For part of us went with you,
The day god called you home.
You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guid,
And though we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same,
But as god calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

What tanker would stop on a roundabout to let someone get on to the roundabout (assuming that it actually happened on the roundabout). They is an unofficial lay by about 100m down from the roundabout, was she pulling out across the traffic from that? Why did the tanker stop? Car should wait until there is a gap in the traffic or go down to the next roundabout a mile away! Poor old car drivers getting pee\\\'d off about getting overtaken by bikers. They use less fuel, are more fun & you don\\\'t get held up in traffic. All big plusses in my book. By the way this is not a book of condolences, please do not inflict your mawkish behaviour upon us. Grieve in private!who the hell do u think u are telling people to grieve in private, if the family who have lost thier loved ones want to read these condolences, this might help them through this tough time and reassure them that they are not alone and people around them are thinking of them in this time of need!!!!!! I hope people who have left heartless messages dont loose loved ones in a tragic accident like this because u will soon regret commenting on this familys loss. i am driver and have never ridden a motorbike in my life, however as a driver if i see a motorbike in my rear view mirror or coming towards me on the opposite side of the road i will make sure i move over to give them plenty of room!!! This is part of having respect of other road users wether it be a motorbike, cyclist, bus, tanker etc... its not hard as a car driver just to move across the road slightly to allow a little more room for motorcyclist. Everyone has accidents, they wouldnt be called accidents otherwise! Also to all those people who are trying to pin point as to who is to blame, get over it, what is done is done, we cant change the past only learn from our mistakes, i understand people have lost loved ones however im sure they are trying to grieve at this moment and the last thing that is on their mind is to pin point who is to blame. All ROAD USERS INSTEAD OF THINKING ABOUT WHO IS TO BLAME THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN DO NOW TO STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN!!! My Condonlences go out to the family who have lost their loved ones. Although they are not here in person they will always be with u in spirit RIP X

My husband and i both ride and also have two children of our own. My son who is now ten sometimes comes out with us on the bikes and when my daughter is older she will too, neither of my children are forced to ride with us but choose to and enjoy it.
This was an accident and sadly we lose people every day on our roads some on bikes some in cars some just walking, i have had friends who have had accidents at a high speed and walked away some low speed and died or badly injured, every situation is different. We all know that are roads take lives everyday but we all still choose to use them and take that risk weither we are good users or not.
this was a tragic ACCIDENT.
though some of the comments are hard on here i believe everyone has a right to there own opions. some will think i am mad for allowing my children to ride with us some will understand, one thing i will say that Em has said to me and others around her is remember to tell those around you how important they are and that you love them. no one knows when we may lose some one just be grateful for everyday that you are here on the plain.
Ride and drive safe

Having to cope with the terrible tragedy of last Saturday which devastated the whole family and their many friends, we are all completely shocked and stunned and still find it hard to comprehend.
We thank the many friends of Terry and Channon for their words and love, also others who have been very kind and understanding. Julie has had other tragedies in her life and has always battled through so bravely. A truly wonderful amazing daughter and grandmother, we are extremely proud of her.
From mum Hazel and dad George, her children Simon, Charlotte, Samuel, her sisters Janis and Jackie, grandchildren and greatgrand children and Terry!s son Adam
We love you all.
Hazel and George Allen.
