I’d assumed the dangerous driver charge would have been levelled at one of the vehicles that crashed. Sounds like that sadly there was another vehicle involved that left behind a trail of devastation.
Several families destroyed, one completely obliterated. If the individual arrested is responsible, throw the book at them.
Hope this doesn’t prove to be another case of ‘I didn’t see the motorbike’, but I may be disappointed.
So the motorcycle was trying to swere from the third party then crashed into the other vehicle?
Well, I hope this shuts up all the people on the previous thread about this putting unfounded blame on the bike rider.
I wonder if the Youtuber I saw last week on here doing ridiculous driving has achieved his destiny.
Not worth speculating on what happened until it comes out in the wash
Even if all three were driving with wreckless intention (which is unlikely) to leave the scene of a catastrophic collision without alerting emergency services or even stopping to check if anyone was still alive is disgusting. So no matter who comes out looking like they were at fault, Porsche driver is alive and in the fortunate position to have the book thrown at them. The rest are dead and could only wish they were being questioned by police.
Everyone else being dead, the driver of the Porsche if found can completely make up the narrative and it will be very hard to prove what truly happened.
An arrest is not a charge. That may or may not happen. The police are information gathering. Equally, this arrest doesn’t imply that either the biker (or the driver of the Focus, heaven forbid, it seems unlikely) were not speeding on that stretch of road. Additionally, the crash investigation is still underway and will almost certainly provide a timeline of these catastrophic events.
Great job by police to find the evidence in this extremely sad incident. Now it makes sense why the road remained closed for so long. so hopefully he will be dealt with quickly through the courts, if he is at fault, even if sentencing for causing death by dangerous driving has low maximum jail time..

>Mr Roller and his partner had another daughter, aged 11, who is understood not to have been with them at the time of the crash.
I can’t imagine how devastating it would be for the daughter to recieve that news. Too sad.
Not sure saying a Porsche was involved has helped matters.
Would they say the car name if it was a 1.0 Ford Fiesta Eco-Boost (boom)?
This happened close to my home town. It’s a tragedy.
I have my own family, but if I caused something like this I wouldn’t be able to live with myself you’d literally have to put me in a straight jacket so I couldn’t kill myself.
I’m going for an alien ship tried to beam up the Porsche but it was too heavy so it dropped it in front of the bike which then swerved and hit the car.
Yes I made it up which is what most seem to be doing.
Lots of possibilities. Porsche could have been conducting an unsafe overtake of the focus and bike had to swerve. Bike and Porsche could have been racing, with bike trying to overtake the Porsche into the oncoming car.
Almost regardless it’s not good for the Porsche driver, but the bikers could still be culpable.
Just here for the Reddit crash CSI specialists comments, not disappointed.
I live close by and the road is still closed, lots of speculation and I’m sure the truth will be found. Meanwhile, carry on with the theories.
I wonder who will get a longer sentence, the JSO activists just arrested at an airport or this guy.
