An 82-year-old who was given an Apple Watch for Christmas, says it may have saved his life after a car hit him.
Footage has now been released of the incident at a roundabout in Kidderminster, in the UK, on January 19, 2024. The stereotypical image of a British roundabout is a large and grassy island with four or more roads coming off it, but this one was a small, painted circle at an intersection.
While rare in the US, roundabouts are proven to be safer for both drivers and pedestrians, but in this case the circle was completely ignored. The driver cut a corner, not even driving in the correct lane, and smashed into 82-year-old Tony Jauncey, who was walking across the road.
