olaf · 22nd December 2012

As usual, the driver was cleared in court. http://www.yourlocalguardian.co.uk/n...inquest_hears/

Stonehedge · 25th December 2012

A very rare accidental death verdict. Interesting that the police testified that the driver was within the speed limit and could not have avoided the impact. Tragic all round.
