Dicing With Death
`Youngsters in Chirk appear to have a self-destructive urge, as they take part in a reckless new game known as ‘Death Chicken’.
During the dark nights a number of children are playing ‘dead’ in the middle of busy roads and challenging one another to remain still for as long as possible when a car approaches them.
CCTV footage of this irresponsible game was taken late at night by John Collins from Bronywaun, who told the Advertizer how a group of approximately eight children took part and filmed each other on their mobile phones.’
