Angry Anybody know anything about a crash in Royston where a Subaru driver died???

Just been on BBC Look East news, the driver boasting his Subaru could do over 150 MPH, when Police stopped him to check his car (One had been stolen that day the same color) He sped off crashing into a ditch and killing himself
Cheers

There was a thread at the time:

with varying amounts of conjecture.

I wonder if we'll get any comments from those who stated on the old thread that there was no reason for the car to have made off?

Would be interested in their opinion now.

If you look at it from different sides its quite hard to really make a decision on how to comment.

The guy was an idiot for what happened but he is still dead and he will have family that are naturally devastated by what happened.

However, if he had lost control of his car and hit pedestrians the first thought would be string what was left of sorry butt up.

Who knows why people do the silly things they do.

He's done a runner thinking he's going to get done for being pi$$d not realising he's going to lose his life,
Feel sorry for the family.

Well learn of other peoples mistakes,

No matter what you have done dont run from the coppers.
