Controversy The driver of the vehicle was located by phone by the Police within an hour of the incident yet he was not arrested until approximately four hours later. This was outside the time that he could have been tested for blood alcohol. This is despite the fact that the driver was known to a police officer who attended the incident. · The driver was not charged with failing to remain at the scene of an accident. · No notes or tape recordings of the conversation police had with the driver when they found him have been produced. · Ambulance officers identified two sets of injuries to Errol Wyles, indicating that the car hit him on two separate occasions. This is supported by the location of blood stains on the car. Yet the Police pathology report only identified one set of injuries. · 24 people who were at the party were not interviewed by the Police.
