A moment of silence fell upon the villages of Murton and Bishopston this afternoon (Thursday, June 2), as the community paid their respects to the man and woman who sadly died in a car crash earlier this week. The pair, both aged 19, died after the car they were travelling in crashed into Northway Petrol Station in Bishopston, Swansea at 11.15pm on Tuesday, May 31. Two other passengers, both aged 17, were rushed to hospital with serious injuries.
To help the local community pay their respects to the two individuals who sadly died, Bishopston Community Council and Bishopston councillor, Lyndon Jones arranged for a one minute's silence to take place at Murton Green on Thursday afternoon, ahead of the community's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
Local vicar, the Reverend Canon Peter Brooks led the poignant moment and also led the community in prayer for the people that died, as well as all those who have died during the course of the pandemic. There was also a poignant round of applause for the emergency services who attended the incident, and for their work during the pandemic.
