Is This Park Twinned?

 If it is, it must be witn Derry in Maine!

Essex Police rushed to the Chalkwell Park area of Southend, Essex, at around 12.30am today following reports that a young woman had been seriously injured in an incident involving a 'small articulated loading vehicle'. It is understood that a group of people inside the park took unauthorised control of the vehicle and that is how the teenager was hurt.Paramedics took the girl to hospital, where she remains in a critical condition.

Translation for those who don't speak 'official': some little shits stole a fork-lift and ran someone over.  

Chalkwell Park is the same Essex park where a seven-year-old girl was killed by a falling tree in June last year.

Boy, a place to avoid at all times!

A standard forklift is not articulated. It must be a mini tractor with forks on the front. They usually have tow bars on and they regularly tow trailers for storage. Many councils use them for parks and so on while forklifts are for warehousing type tasks.
