Khandro, of course the dead man's status is unimportant but what is relevant is what was happening on the road at the time and that will be investigated. I imagine many of us may think we could have handled the situation better, but until it happens to you then we don't know so we?
Assuming he was driving legally (insured/passed test), safely and within the speed limits I don't see what offences he could be charged with. He did report it to the authorities- as along as that was done as soon as was reasonably practicable I don't see it as being 'hit and run' in the circumstances. .
on the basis that the number of "intending traveller" pedestrians on the motorways around calais is well known, that drivers should be prepared to encounter them and act accordingly. so if one is run over and killed, would that be seen as the driver not exercising their duty of care?
well if the French plods would do their job then perhaps they'd not be in the kermit. Personally I'd run them down too if I had my family in the jam jar with these j' Arthurs trying to stop me.

Looks like it's becoming an occupational hazard - but if you stand in the road you ought to realise there's a chance you'll be run over. I feel very sorry for the driver. What a horrible experience.
