Really poor reporting.

Cars generally need to have a driver, and there must therefore have been another party involved. Did they run away? Have the Police charged or cautioned them? Was this a runaway car?

Very sad! This poor elderly gentleman! My deepest sympathy's for the gentleman and his family! Matt, am I correct that the limit after the traffic lights past the bus-stop is 70mph zone? I was the one with my car stopped at the bus-stop between the tragic accident and oncoming vehicles. All of last night, I could not understand how this tragedy happened! I watched you and the girls trying very hard to resuscitate this poor gentleman. Terrible shock for all involved!
