    I was at both scenes and have my statement to the police. These events are definitely connected. This is the car that ran the intersection. Three of us followed the car down the hill to the scene.

      Thanks. That’s what we heard over police radio but officers did not want to comment at the scene. We’ll be seeking the report tomorrow. – TR

Sorry, comment time is over.
