An unfortunate incident - #Coroner does not clarify if deceased was using #cannabis as a treatment for is #epilepsy and whether or not this was legal ( it can be prescribed for this purpose, and indeed is one of the few times when #NHS will prescribe #MedicalCannabis ) - but 90mph (145 km/h) is way too fast for an unlit rural road anyway, whether stoned or sober.

Coroner does have a point that such conditions /should/ be notified to #DVLA - but in a car-dependent region there's a lot of incentive to the driver not to do this (also if he's getting legal #cannabis and its recorded somewhere it will makes him a target for DUI checks which is another disincentive for self-reporting)

A man in Northern #England was killed after he blew up his terraced house in a #gas #explosion following a #rent increase. 3 other houses were badly damaged and 200 people evacuated.

HM #Coroner recorded a narrative verdict, as he was under influence of #drugs and #alcohol at the time and had previous #MentalHealth problems - it was not evident he deliberately intended to cause a full scale explosion, but may not have been thinking rationally, but a stray spark from the motor capacitor in a fridge freezer ignited the gas..
