Mr Morrison has mobility issues, so he was unable to escape the car travelling at 30mph by jumping out.

I don't know if this needs to be said but jumping out of a moving vehicle is dangerous even at 30 mph, mobility issues or not. I once saw a woman jump out of a car just getting moving from a traffic light so she fell at far less speed and we needed to call an ambulance. Her and her husband were having an argument and she thought it'd be no biggie I guess. Apparently it's not too unheard of for this to happen. Women die from it every so often.

Good old manual cars never had this problem, but these new electric cars are the worst... And the expenses are far more than for regular and economical gas cars... Electrics suck and they always will.
