Please be careful out there :'(
I don't know which lane it was but thoughts go out to the family......

I have done a little research via Google Earth and it doesn't seem to have been Strata, which was my first thought. A (thankfully) incredibly rare occurrence although that will be of no comfort to the next of kin.
For anyone responding to people alleging that laning is dangerous, I would suggest they mention the following. There is a twenty mile stretch of main road near me that has, on average, at least one serious accident or fatality every year. Compare that to the hundreds of miles of unsurfaced rights of way where there have been no fatalities in living memory.

Yes just been on the news, it was a 200/300tdi Disco. Looks like the first crossing heading from the south (?) towards the Abby end.

Disco Matt:
They were on about Llyn Brianne (sp?) reservoir on the BBC News site, hence the confusion.
MudRat:
Once again, if they were laning with another vehicle, then it could of been avoided. The driver would not have to have walked so far and the girl would not have waited for so long for help. Thoughts are now with her family.
