On the NSR thread the talk is that the two guys tried to do a runner and were arrested at the border!! Autotrader or the Gumball website abviously dont state this but it will be interesting to see what happens when the facts come to light. If thats true then i hope they get die a slow painful death, there is possibly nothing else more cowardly than running away

Default Think more like

the guy was alive, they called the ambulance, when it came they left carried on with the rally. Later on in hospital he dies of a heartattack who's to know. As the rally crosses borders there going about there business/social and get stopped at the border. Wouldnt call that doing a runner if you have an accident you going to stay with tghe other party until they get back home or what. Thats why they call it an 'accident' Give the guys a break.
Our sympathies go out to the families
