"Eyewitnesses at the scene last night told Hull Live that the man had
been seen 'skidding' across the wet road and ended up underneath the
vehicle.

Humberside Police was taken to Hull Royal Infirmary where he remains
and no arrests have been made.

A Humberside Police spokeswoman said: "A man is receiving treatment
in hospital for serious head injuries following a road traffic
collision in Hull yesterday evening Wednesday, June 12.

Perhaps more importantly, is the matter of why this trained and tested
driver was so slow to apply the brakes. The pedestrian must have been
in th eroad and visible for quite some time, given the statement of
the witness.


Or, as the reported comment (not "statement") has it, the exact opposite:

"...a foreign man who was clearly intoxicated walking along *the* *path*
*to* *Washington* *Street*.".


It seems you didn't read as far as "he looked right and saw nothing
coming and started crossing the road..." ie, he must have crossed halfway.

Of course, it's easier to just ignore the actual evidence and invent
your own (as you did), eh?


There is a difference between evidence and inference. Do you need
reminding of the link to the scouse translator?
