Saw this in local news this morning. The article says silver 5 series but the actual news footage showed a M5.
What a tragedy!

It's tragic for the innocent taxi driver and his family. The idiot M5 driver who blew through the light deserves no sympathy and should rot in prison.

Sad, hope the taxi passengers are alright, as they were doing the responsible thing and not driving/designating.
My condolences to the taxi driver's family...
