“There were no other vehicles involved at all. Maybe he slid out or something, hopefully the driver can shed some light on this when he is able to talk.”

“I noticed this morning there was a ground frost in parts of the city, I was pondering whether ice could be the possible cause, as in the pictures the road surface looks wet.
Very sad event for all concerned and the families left behind.”
