A horrific traffic accident, certainly.
The victim was on a pedestrian crossing.
The photos show where she landed after being hit and thrown across the
road.
All so someone wasn’t late for tea.
More morons blocking the view.

There is no excuse for minor royals to have expensive police escorts
while you cannot even see a policeman let alone get one to come to you if
a crime has been commited.

How strange to appeal for witnesses when the bike rider and cars must
surely have dash cameras, or have these been mistakenly erased?

Maybe they don't want video evidence from "sneaky" sources?
Tell Mikey about getting threatened by thugs in cars for filming their law breaking.
