Thanks for posting names, the whole family doesn't know about the accident yet
The police don't usually release the names till all family is notified. The courier usually waits till the police give them the names.
People always clutch their pearls and drop their monocles when the press reports the news with names. Ignore them.
Well, obviously they needed help with the identity of the other victim....
Looks like a single seat on that bike. Was the woman riding on the rear fender or in front of him? Or was she walking down the street? Really not much info here given here on how this happened.
