Rocky van der Nest (42) crossed the street to buy pizzas when he was struck by the speeding BMW at around 20:00 in the evening. He died the next morning.

Rocky’s family ran out after hearing the crash and saw how the silver BMW stopped and the driver climbed out. The man just looked at Rocky lying in the road before jumping back into his vehicle and speeding off.
