Test Driver Dies After Losing Control On Top Gear Test Track - 3 Others Injured

A driver was killed on a track used by BBC TV's Top Gear in Bedfordshire when the Honda CRV he was testing rolled over and crashed, an inquest has heard.

David Allan, 47, from Swindon, Wiltshire, suffered head injuries on the Millbrook Proving Ground, near Marston Mortaine, on 3 July last year.

Three men and a woman in the car who also worked for Honda were injured.

So I'm confused. Did he die last year when the accident took place? Or did he just die recently from his injuries he sustained last year? And is this just now "new" due to the inquest to the cause and nature of the incident?

The track in question was used by Top Gear for filming, but is not the official Top Gear Track.

Apparently, he may have died recently of his head injuries which occurred last year.

Do you read the articles before you post or just try to create attention headlines?

Are you paid per post?

Have you thought about letting your stories wait for a day before you post them?
