A father died after being hit by 'a number of vehicles' after he fell from a taxi as it was driven along the M4.

Tony Pemberton, 29, was killed between junctions 34 for Pencoed and 35 for Sarn, at around 9pm on Saturday.

The M4 was closed for more than 10 hours after the incident as police investigated.

Mr Pemberton, from Pyle in Bridgend, was a father to two young daughters, Wales Online reported.

:sad: :sad:

No one just falls out a car these days, they have locks, catches, secondary catches...you can only "Fall out" if you or someone else fecks about with the inner door handles....should we have all inner passenger door handles removed to make vehicles numpty proof.?

It never ceases to amaze me as to why no one mentions.........why did he not have his seat belt on? As you say - he cannot just fall out! At the mo they are looking for a witness/witnesses! No mention of the taxi involved.

Surely the driver would have been some sort of witness?

Yes..but they prefer hanging drivers out to dry rather than consider that they might just be an innocent witness in an incident not of their own making...Drivers make convenient scapegoats for all.
