    He wasn’t crossing. He was walking along the hard shoulder towards Citywest. I passed him by and thought how dangerous it was for him to be walking there. He was also wearing really dark clothing… wish I would have stopped to offer him a lift. But I was on my own heading home from work and didn’t want to take the chance. Gutted to hear he was killed. It must have just happened as I passed him… the poor lad. Thinking of the driver also. I couldn’t even imagine what they are going through….

    @Lisa Bushell-Roche: The poor man that died was crossing the road when he was hit, I was there immediately following. Condolences to all that knew him it’s very sad. I hope the person involved is okay it was an horrific experience to say the least.

    @ John O’Rourke. I didn’t see the accident. I just spotted him walking on the hard shoulder. I couldn’t really offer any more than what I posted above.
