CAR PLUNGES OVER CLIFF AND INTO THE SEA AT ALUM BAY

Thought there was a bit of chatter on the VHF this evening.

The car is clearly visible at the foot of the cliff, from the water, and would have been to all the RTI competitors. I guess, from the lack of detail in that article that further details are embargoed for some reason.

Half a mile? Maybe a bit less. Not visible from each other, there’s a headland in the way.

From the same publication, final paragraph is intriguing

2 dead. Unsurprisingly, there’s some unhelpful speculation allegedly being investigated that this was a murder / suicide. Tragedy regardless.

2 dogs as well, though amazingly one survived, we hear locally. Tragedy absolutely. Speculation is unavoidable in the circumstances, it’s a small community, 6 degrees of separation dooes not exist on the Island. The stretch of road is obviously well known too, I must have cycled along there 2 or 3 hundred times.
