I moved the thread from R&N to A&CC. I left an expiring link to it's location in the new forum. When it happened it was news. It'll fade from being news and still be an accident. If it's news, posters may post in R&N. If it's an accident, it'll be moved to A&CC. Accidents in the news may also be posted directly to the A&CC forum. If readers are interested in accidents and close calls, they are invited to read in that forum.
What we're working away from is an accident, which resides in R&N, being updated there (like accident report much later), where the update is not a rumour nor news, it's just an update on an accident.
