An absolutely heartbreaking incident 💔
An elderly couple were killed after walking into a road while arm in arm before being hit by a car, an inquest heard.
But she was released with no further action taken after a blood sample showed she was under the legal drug drive limit. An investigation carried out by Greater Manchester Police's Serious Collision Unit concluded that their evidence pointed to the couple's deaths being the result of a 'tragic accident.'
"I realised they hadn't looked. As I stopped my car the man hit his head on the windscreen and they collapsed. I jumped out of my car and screamed and told my cousin to ring an ambulance straight away. PC Paul Terry, who works for GMP's Serious Collision Investigation Unit carried out a reconstruction of the crash as part of the force's investigation, arriving at the scene around two hours later.
He added: "Her view of them would have been extremely limited if a view was at all possible. At the point Mr and Mrs Mann emerged from the parked cars there was insufficient time or distance for any driver in these circumstances to avoid the collision." "She would not have seen the couple with adequate time to have stopped this collision. Jackie was hit by the car and then struck his wife. Both of their injuries were unsurvivable. Whilst Miss Yates had cannabis traces in her blood I am told this was under the legal limit. I cannot say what impact this would have had on her driving at the time."
