Since there's so much data and coverup about the accident, I have decided to start a new page on the Gumball 3000 2007 accident which took 2 lives. Here is what I think about the accident, part of this I was able to source in the major media:
He was driving way too fast, killed the two elderly people and then bribed the family (and most likely the court) into a settlement. He tried to flee Macedonia twice after the accident, but he was caught and arrested both times when trying to cross the border. He was found guilty and convicted. He did not appeal.
The court adjudicator estimated the speed of the car to be 161km/h (100mph), and the limit on that section of the road is 60km/h (37.5mph). I have referenced a source for this. The road in that section is very flat and wide 7m (25ft), so YES, you CAN do 200km/h, EXCEPT, there is a gas station, entrance into a town, and exit to a village in those 50 metres (60 yards) where the accident happened. So yes, by all means the guy killed the poor people.
Also, there have been subsequent driving convictions against Nick Morley, and he's currently banned from driving in the UK. Crnorizec ( talk) 21:17, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
Do we really need the part about how he has been in trouble with the law for more driving offenses? It has no reason to be included as the article is not on Nicholas and just seems like an attempt to cast a negative light on him. I'll remove the entire part unrelated to the crash, but if i'm wrong here feel free to re-add and explain why. Thanks, Matty ( talk) 00:07, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
Noted that a user named 'Gumball 3000' has recently removed content from this page. Specifically relating to allegations that those involved fled the scene of the accident in another Gumballer's car. There are many articles that refer to the fact that the divers were arrested at the border and the only defence against these allegations is a suggestion that the driver remained at the scene until the ambulance crew arrived. The diver had been involved in a serious accident, his car was in tatters. Whether leaving the scene was an offence or not, it is a significant reflection on the nature of the accident that the driver chose to leave in the car of another participant and head for the border. Was he aiming to continue the race? Was he hoping to leave the jurisdiction of the incident? Either way, it is an integral part in documenting the chain of events and ought not be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Upfall ( talk • contribs) 23:39, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
