Template:16th February



16th February 2012: John and Moira are both shy and apprehensive as they head off for their night away, taking Andy's Land Rover so that Andy and Adam can use John's truck. As they reminisce over when they first got together, suddenly John hits a patch of ice in the road and the car skids at high speed, crashing through an obstruction and landing on its side in the darkness. Badly hurt, John and Moira are terrified to realise they are trapped inside the vehicle. John calmly insists to Moira they will get out, but they're both scared as the car lurches forward and slips. Soon afterwards, Declan drives by with Katie and they call the emergency services when they see what has happened. John desperately tries to free Moira, unaware that the car is teetering dangerously over the edge of a ravine. Declan and Katie struggle to free them both, but time runs out as the vehicle slips and plummets below. Later, Adam, Hannah and Holly are in the pub and receive a horrendous call from Katie telling them about the accident. At the hospital, utter devastation awaits them as the crash team and medics are forced to accept there is no hope. John dies.
