Just been on news that someone has handed themselves in in relation to this incident. They had abandoned the vehicle involved apparently. There isn't a long enough sentence for them. G

That they ran off and left the couple on the road to die is just unforgivable. The ramifications for their families will be terrible

This happen around the corner from where I live. I'm appalled. I saw the police take away the car when I was driving home but didn't realise the seriousness of what happened until I saw the news.

Were they hit on the pinch point ?

Happened just before 4pm?
Stand by for the dazzled by the sun get out clause.

Doesn't say much on the circumstances. Bloke handed himself in eventually. Tandem is a bloody big bike to miss seeing if that's what happened.

Poor buggers.

So sad. Two more avoidable casualties and anguish and despair for the family.

It's enough to make you weep.

There, but for the grace of god (if you believe in such things), goes each and every one of us.
