Sounds awful. We can only assume they were pissed and didn't want to stop.

Another black mark for Subaru owners!!
My thoughts are with the family.

Hope they are nailed if it's the drivers fault. If they fecked off without stopping then something must have been wrong.

Again, thoughts with the family of the casualty

On that road I don't see why pedestrians would be crossing the road there.

Still it's tragic

Yes and yes.

For those of you in Swansea for the last meet, it was the Silver Facelift Classic there.

For obvious reasons I don`t want to go into details, but the speculation was that the car was speeding this is categorically untrue, and drivers behind can vouch for this. The small section where the incident occurred was unlit, and there was little that he could do. And the driver DID NOT drive off, but stop and go and see if he could help.

There are details which I would prefer NOT to go into on a public forum, as police are still investigating and there has been a fatality.
And can people please keep assumptions to yourselves, as they are not based on facts, and real people are involved.

In situations like this its a shame for all parties involved. Its not like someone goes out to do something like this, well most people don't anyway. I am sure it could easily happen to anyone and the person involved will suffer the affects for the rest of their lives, so if it was an accident all parties have my sympathy.

Yeah, well when the details are given out by the Police, all will become clear.
