Yesterdays M27 Fatal

[silverfoxcc]

My maths may been going downhill, but BBC South have just reported the following a collision between 2 cars and a lorry, in which the lorry driver died, 2 men and a woman have been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

Can a passenger be arrested and how can they be involved?

Any police out there who could shed light on this..... unless the indentity of a driver at the time is uncertain

[ED209]

Perhaps they don’t know who in the car was actually driving therefore the arrests are to investigate and hopefully establish who the driver was.

It could also be that a vehicle that ended up not being physically involved might be involved in causing the circumstances.

All three were of no fixed abode too I saw in the reporting which I thought was strange?

Road users are always travellers.
‘Travellers’ are invariably static.

Weather was horrific yesterday when this happened, saw all the response cars lit up going the other way to what must have been this crash on my journey from Luton to B'mth.

It's the Westbound side that is closed so you would have been sat in/near it?

[Cupramax]

I didn’t say I was, I said I saw all the response cars full tilt marked and unmarked. It happened round near the airport didn’t it? I was just heading down the hill after Rownhams and they were all going the other way.

There is precedent…

The bigger question to my mind is how the hell did the lorry catch fire a few hours later while the BiB were still there??!?

Because the Water Fairies didn't do a great job?

Electrical fault due to something being bent out of shape?

[ridds]

Don't think that crash was weather related from the image.

Must have been hard work to (what appears to me) ram a truck off the road.

100% it was those lovely nomadic types who spread cheer and happiness where ever they appear and use the verges and car parks as open sewers.

Apparently they acquired a large TV from Currys, perhaps confirming the unwarranted stereotype they chose not to pay, then drove off at silly speeds, weaving in and out of traffic, they hit a Passat that spun into the lorry. Then knowing they had killed the driver kicked off at the police attempting to arrest them.

Where did that information come from?

Agreed how do you know this? And does that mean the police where already in pursuit? As surly said caravan enthusiast would have legged it?

Might not know who is driving at the time. Or if its reported that the passenger pulls the handbrake for example. They are now driving

Yes, taken with a pinch of salt at this stage. There has also been no mention of any Passat in the 3 vehicles involved, through the official appeal for witnesses. Unless they’re holding that back as unreleased detail for verification, but unlikely. I see all 3 have been arrested on suspicion of various combinations of DD,drug driving and causing death by dangerous driving.
