Would you believe it? An accident that took away the life of a father of five was due to some foolish English footballer who could afford a Mercedes Benz without a decent sound system in his car to play his music that he had to depend on his pathetic IPod. Jordan Robertson, 20, who plays for Championship team Sheffield United, is understood to have been trying to change songs on his iPod while driving along the M1. The striker's black Mercedes CLC 180 sports car is believed to have collided with the red Ford Galaxy of Omar Mohamed, 38, who was driving to pick up his children from London, where they had been staying during the school holidays. After the collision on the southbound carriageway of the motorway at junction 19, at about 2.50pm on Christmas Day, Mr Mohamed, from Leicester, was airlifted to Walsgrave Hospital, in Coventry, where he died a day later. Another life is lost due to a total negligent attitude and oversight of civic mindedness. I just do not have any sympathy for this footballer who is totally spoilt and mindless. This is really sad indeed and I just feel for the deceased family especially the wife who will have to bring them up all by herself. Mindless? What is your take on this careless and mindless individual? Should there be a heavier penalty than jail for such people?
