It says a lot about the driver and passenger in the Porsche that they tried to do a runner to the border.
I guess they thought money would sort it out.
If true then they are scum, no better than an uninsured hit and run driver.

Been involved in a fatal accident. To run away is totally unacceptable the consequences of your actions. In my case I was exhonerated by the inquest and yet everyday I think about it and, up until I had children, I would have traded places with the other party.

latest press release :
Pair held after Gumball death crash
Press Association
Friday May 4, 2007 8:23 AM
Macedonian police are questioning two Britons following a fatal accident during an international car rally.
Organisers of the Gumball 3000 closed the race down following the death of Vladimir Cepulyoski, 67, from Macedonia.
Mr Cepulyoski died in hospital from a heart attack after the crash on Wednesday. He had not been involved in the race.
The Foreign Office said Nicholas Morley and Matthew McConville were taking part in the rally when they hit another car in Macedonia.
Ivo Kotevski, a Macedonian police spokesman, said the pair would testify before an investigative magistrate before a decision would be made on whether to hold them in custody.
"Two British citizens left the scene of the accident. Shortly afterwards, border authorities found them in another (vehicle) at the Qafasan border crossing with Albania," he said.
The Gumball 3000 has been a draw for the rich and famous for almost a decade, speeding through Europe in high powered sports cars by day and enjoying lavish parties by night.
It is believed the two men waited at the scene until ambulance crews arrived to help the driver of the second car, before rejoining the race towards the Albanian border.
It is thought the men reported the accident to police when they arrived at the border, and were asked to give statements.
But it is believed that as they returned to the border to continue their trip they were told the other person involved had died and were taken back to a nearby police station.

Whilst it must be great fun to take part in such events they are doing car enthusiasts no favours with their antics. I'm surprised their hasn't been more incidents

Could I be controvertial and say I think Gumballers / canonballers are a bunch of irresponsible arseholes...... Driving across Europe at break neck speeds with a blatant disregard for the law thinking they can buy their way out of any issue which comes their way.
I would say I cant wait for the first BIG ONE so that someone goes down for man slaughter, but no doubt it would an innocent who suffered.
Bell ends ..........

Cant believe this it's normally so well put together and safe. Cowards spoil these things and what a terrible tragedy my heart goes out to his family how awful.
I think it was one of those to porches pictured above,
