Hi this is a difficult question to ask but has anyone got any news about David Jeffries, i have just heard that he may have suffered a fatal accident and being bit of an avid fan of his i was wondering if anyone else out there had heard the same rumours.
Thanks

I'm sad to confirm the rumours you had heard, but it is true. Apparently he crashed at Crosby and hit a telegraph pole. Jim Moodie was also involved, but I believe escaped unhurt.
Very sad.

Sadly the news is DJ has lost his life and it is thought that Moodie hit a telegraph pole which fell in the crash.

RIP big fella.

May he rest in peace very sad, my thoughts are with his family at this very sad time.

I can't believe the news. This has been such a cruel year! Our thoughts and prayers are with David's family and friends. We wish Jim Moodie a very speedy recovery from his injuries.
Rest in peace, David.

Gutted , words fail me...i will always remember him as he blasted across St Ninnians on full throttle , cant believe it my thoughts go out to his family and friends and i also wish Jim Moodie a quick recovery who i believe received seious injuries in the same incident,,,,get well soon Jim.

Absolutly gutted i will never forget seeing David on that record breaking lap last year, may i offer my sympathy to his family.RIP David.

This is just to awful for words, absolutely tragic news. Our very deepest thoughts and sympathy go to Davids family and friends. Has anyone got any further news on Jim. The IOM website says he's fine, but the TV news says he's seriously injured. Fingers,toes and everything else crossed that he's OK.

My greatest sympathy go out to david's family and friends. R.I.P David. i wish jim moody a speedy recovery.

Yes Jim is OK and out of hospital, as he's
texted Stella.

speechless!! why?? My sympathy go out to all of the family...get well soon Jim!!

R.I.P DAVY!!

cant find the words so sad

A very great loss to road racing, our thoughts are with his family, RIP Dave.

I have no words for this terrible tragedy. This is the worst possible way for being tomorrow on the isle from Italy and looking at own first TT. But this is part of the terrible game named "Isle of Man TT races". Farewell Dave...

Lucy

Rest in peace,the biggest and best...

Sad sad news, David jeffries R.I.P

I never had the pleasure to meet DJ, yet feel I knew him well. My words fail me but, for me, the following speaks volumes:

Please do not grieve and shed wild tears
and hug your sorrows to you, through the years.
But start out bravely with a gallant smile
and for my sake and in my name
live on and do all things the same. - Karo Baha Alchesay

We all feel this sad loss.Those words are so true John F.DJ loved what he did and I am sure he would have wanted all fellow racers to carry on without him,but we will all miss him.Take care everyone out there.Bless you DJ
