Who the f**k is taking these photos?! I imagine the name will be published with the story in the actual paper. If someone took a photo of me whilst I was laid in the street having the worst moment of my life I would inflict some serious harm on them! Absolutely disgusting.

Think you need to get a grip. It's the journalist's job to record what happened.

It's not as though the picture shows a shortage of medical help or closeups is it?

I have to agree, taking photo's a few feet from a serious accident like this is a little sick.

GeordieB, are you seriously defending the fact that people are taking photos of victims in their most vulnerable position? I've seen it time and time again where people are seriously ill/injured and people stand around takign videos and photos. Utterly sick. And I'd give my left testicle if the Northern Echo have contacted this person to ask her opinion of the photo being published.

The victim cannot be seen. This is over reaction by Laurels of the worst kind.
