Clarke Carlisle has done an interview saying that his recent accident with a lorry was him trying to commit suicide as he'd been suffering with depression since he quit playing in 2012.
Now, depression is a serious illness (I'm not disputing that, I have family members who have suffered) but to put the lorry driver through that, not knowing whether he was at fault/negligent, is pretty disgusting. There are plenty of ways to commit without dragging someone else into your schemes. You could argue that it was spur of the moment but it wasn't, he planned it as he thought it was his only chance to make people happy.
