Rawmarsh Husband Goes Missing In M1 Roadworks ‘Bermuda Triangle’
2016-11-05
A Rawmarsh woman is appealing for help finding her husband who hasn’t been seen for over 12 months after leaving home to start work on a new job with the highways agency.
Raymond Collins left his home on Ingshead Avenue on 16th August 2016 to start work on the M1 improvement scheme running through South Yorkshire and north Nottinghamshire and nothing has been seen of him since. “It’s really worrying,” said his wife Carol “it’s just not like him. I don’t know what’s happened to him.”
Our enquiries revealed that Raymond’s case is just the tip of a puzzling iceberg and dozens of other women have found themselves in the same position as Carol. In fact all but four of the men who have gone to work on the project over the past two years have mysteriously vanished, leaving mile after mile after mile of sodding coned off motorway with no bugger working on it. “It’s like the Bermuda triangle,” said Carol “only longer and thinner and covered in rubble.”
A highways agency spokesman said he couldn’t comment on individual disappearances but said the project overall was in line for completion within the allotted time frame. “We are confident that we will have the road up and running and fully operational by the end of the millennium.” he told us.
*Have you seen Raymond, or anyone else working on the M1 improvement scheme. If so, take a picture and send it in to us at the Bugle. We may be able to reunite a worried family with a loved one.
