Tragic Death Caused by Dangerous Driving
from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!
A 26-year-old personal trainer, Megan Murphy, admitted to causing the death of 31-year-old Darryl Tomlinson after driving the wrong way down a one-way street in Wigan, hitting him twice—first while moving forward, then again after reversing. Tomlinson, who had fallen in the road after drinking with friends, was never found by emergency services due to an incorrect address, despite neighbors spotting him. Murphy claimed she didn’t see him and later mocked him under her car, calling him a “smackhead.” Her poor visibility from an inadequate windscreen defrosting attempt and habitual disregard for road rules added to the tragedy. Tomlinson’s family, devastated by his loss, blame both Murphy for taking his life and the ambulance service for failing to locate him.
