Bystander is a registered user.

It must be assumed that she drove to the Shell station. That makes this very worrying as whatever caused her distress, if she was driving at the time then she was putting all road users in jeopardy. Thankfully she was able to pull into the gas station, but if there was nowhere to pull in it just isn't worth thinking about.

Sorry to hear about her death, and it is good to hear that the police officers are unhurt. I think we were all lucky in this instance.
