To give you some idea of the terrain, the course is NZ's version of Pikes Peak, admittedly on a smaller scale but the drop on his left would have been substantial, so one way or another he ended up on the otherside of the road. Fottage from the accident scene showed Possum's car up a bank at the point of impact so whether he was going too fast, swerving or taking evasive action Possum was on his side of the road. Reports were that Baltrop was in a convoy of vehicles on reconnasance, dust was probably a factor but if Pos was on the wrong side of the road, surely someone in front of him would've got hit before Baltrop. All this aside, it is in the hands of the courts. Baltrop was remanded on bail without plea on Tuesday and will appear again next month.
