I would just like to say

We have had a bit of a tragedy here in Essex. A pair of kids (a Brother and Sister) in Pitsea were killed while riding their e-scooter.
They died at the scene of the accident apparently, paramedics could not save them.
Everyone is up in arms because the driver of the car that hit them failed to stop, but have subsequently been arrested.
Lynch mobs are abounding on FarceBook and an outpouring of grief and condolence is occurring. A go-fundme is running to pay for the funeral because the parents are too poor to pay for a funeral (but can clearly afford e-scooters).

No-one has asked 2 key questions AFAIK.
1. Were these kids riding on the road where they should not have been, or did the car that struck them mount the pavement to get them?
2. Did the driver of the vehicle in question flee the scene in horror/panic or did they abscond because they were on drink/drugs and/or have no tax/insurance?

Leaving it open to speculation just makes things worse I think.
I bet the parents that bought the e-scooter wish they had not done so.
