  4. LLANPUMSAINT: Delivery driver who killed dad and fled scene jailed

    Daniel Douglas Wyke, 28, was sentenced at Swansea Crown Court to four-and-a-half years in prison after admitting causing death by dangerous driving.

    The court heard how Wyke struck Aaron Jones, 38, as he walked his dog through the village on the evening of December 23, 2024.

    Wyke was travelling at 34mph — 14mph over the speed limit — when he hit Mr Jones.

    Instead of stopping, he fled the scene in his damaged vehicle.

    Mr Jones, a father of two, died as a result of his injuries.

    The case follows earlier proceedings where the driver admitted responsibility, after initially being charged more than a year after the fatal collision in Llanpumsaint.

    In court, the judge condemned Wyke’s actions in stark terms.

    He said the driver had been “more intent on saving his own skin” than helping the man he had struck.

    Describing the aftermath, the judge added: “Those close to Mr Jones were frantically searching for him. The anguish they were feeling at the time was simply unimaginable.”

    Paying tribute, Mr Jones’ family described him as “a remarkable, strong, caring and brilliant man who always led by the best example”.

    They thanked police for their work in securing justice, and praised the support they had received from loved ones and charities as they try to rebuild their lives.

    The judge told Wyke his actions had devastating consequences.

    “Your dangerous driving cost the life of a well-loved father of two children, an adored husband and son, and a man who was a good friend to so many,” he said.

    As well as his prison sentence, Wyke has been banned from driving for eight years and two months.

    Sergeant Nicholas Brookes, from Dyfed-Powys Police’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said the death had left a lasting impact.

    “This was a tragic incident that has left a family grieving a dad, husband and son, whose absence is felt as strongly now as 15 months ago,” he said.

    He added that the crash — and its consequences — were “entirely avoidable”.

    Police said their investigation had been “lengthy and detailed”, with the victim’s family at the heart of their work throughout.

  5. A Monterey County landscaper is grieving the avoidable death of his grandson, 22-yr-old Alejandro Covarrubias, who was killed by a hit-and-run driver while changing a flat tire. gofundme.com/f/honoring-my-bro As reported by KTLA-5, authorities say the suspect could possibly have been driving an #Amazon truck. ktla.com/news/local-news/famil

    Alejandro's tragic death is an example of why California Assembly Bill 390 was passed in 2025. AB 390 extends protections that were already given to police officers, highway workers, Caltrans employees and other people doing official work on the highways to ANYONE outside of their vehicle—as reported by Streetsblog California, University of California at Berkeley Safe Transportation Research and Education Center (SafeTREC), and others. SafeTREC found that, in 2022, over 1,200 individuals nationwide were killed due to drivers maneuvering too close or fast near parked cars, including 221 in California.

  6. Hit and run motorists, pedestrians and the justice system

    "Sentence extended but no jail for NT hit-and-run driver Jake Danby who called victims ‘oxygen thieves’. In June 2024, Jake Danby hit two Aboriginal men with his car on a Darwin street, killing one and injuring the other."

    The "driver had bragged in text messages that the man he killed was an “oxygen thief” and he would not go to jail. He called it a “two for one combo” and texted it was “pretty funny watching them roll around on the road after going over my bonnet”.

    "He was handed a 12-month community corrections order, with five months in home detention." >>

    "The SUV’s driver stopped briefly before allegedly fleeing.

    "Nadeau said Monday morning that the victim was taken to Maine Medical Center for treatment of injuries not considered life-threatening.

  13. Portland friends. Some MAGAs hurt a woman at the ICE facility protest.

    Two middle-aged white people tried to drive through the crowd. One of the protesters was hit. Not badly, but hit all the same.

    The street was blocked off and cops were redirecting traffic. This was intentional.

    Does anyone recognize them? That hat is pretty recognizable.

  15. Since 2019, the man now in charge of a private security force in #Gaza has registered a drink for ravers, pursued a CBD venture, & sold a hangover preventative (the latter, his company boasts, was developed by “savages”). In April, he ran into trouble with the #law: Govoni was taken into custody for #felony eluding arrest & #misdemeanor #HitAndRun. One month later, after posting $50,000 in bail, he was sending #military contractors to Gaza.

  16. NT DPP considering appeal of 'callous' fatal hit-run driver's home detention

    "The NT has the nation's highest rate of pedestrian deaths, with the majority of victims being Indigenous people, and data shows one in four drivers do not stop to help...Incidents like this are a stark reminder of the systemic challenges our communities continue to face — ongoing racism, inequity and a justice system that too often fails to hold offenders fully accountable."
