A young man lost his life after running into traffic while under the influence, prompting emergency calls from concerned drivers
Uttoxeter: A tragic incident unfolded when a 24-year-old man, Solomon Victory-Daly, was killed on the A50. He was reportedly under the influence of cocaine and alcohol when he ran into traffic.
Motorists noticed his erratic behavior and called the police, but sadly, he was struck by a lorry before help could arrive. An inquest revealed that drugs and alcohol played a significant role in his death.
Sol had taken cocaine earlier that night and left his home around 1:30 AM. His partner described him as a loving person who was happy and caring. Unfortunately, she never saw him again.
Witnesses reported that he was acting strangely, feeling paranoid and thinking he was being watched. The coroner noted that such feelings can happen when someone is under the influence.
Despite the tragic circumstances, the coroner concluded that there was no evidence Sol intended to harm himself. His behavior was likely affected by the substances in his system.
Ultimately, he entered the busy road and was hit by a lorry, leading to fatal injuries. It’s a heartbreaking reminder of how substance use can lead to devastating outcomes.
