Just been pointed towards this news story:

Hopefully not anyone on here

[techieboy]

Oh sh!t. Not good.

[Yellow_or_black?]

Oh my God - that just sent a shiver down my spine

[Cookies220]

Bloody hell! Not good.

[MrSimba]

Not good But [guessing] could the car be stolen? [/guessing] I'll bet theres not many on here that would not pull over if asked by the police and get into a pursuit situation? Though reading again male driver died and female passenger injured so does not sound like a 'stolen' car whatever the circumstances my heart goes out to all familys involved

I fear it might be Chris vx220, he had a colmar blue turbo , and was one of our local group.

Female passenger has serious injuries too

[theotherjonnymac]

Oh struth. Terrible news. Let's pray that she pulls through.

[VIX]

Very bad news, hope the female passenger pulls through. Can't believe the driver didn't stop. RIP.

Terrible news lets all just hope that it WAS stolen, i cant see the majority of vx owners not pulling straight over when a police car flashes you.

[timmyp]

Awful news, even if it was stolen. I'm sure all of the regulars here would always stop, but not all VX owners are on here. There's nothing anyone can say to make it better, just hope the woman pulls through...

I've met him a few times at various meets - seemed like a great guy Hope his girlfriend is ok RIP Chris

[Duncan_F]

That is very sad news. Regardless of the reason behind him not stopping for the police thoughts go out to his friends and family and I hope the female passenger makes a full recovery.

[RMC]

OMG. I am truly shocked by this.

[JimmyJamJerusalem]

My thoughts go out to his friends and family! RIP

[carl1977]

Very sorry to hear it was a member(was hoping for it to be a car thief), such a waste, thoughts go out to the family and hope the girl makes a good recovery
