A 45-year-old Audi driver is accused of falling into a “microsleep” and causing a fatal crash on the A23 in Merstham, Surrey. According to the account published by the Daily Mail, Kolawole Erunkulu was driving along the road when the driver reportedly yawns and then veers off the roadway, striking pedestrian Philip Dray.
The outlet describes the incident as occurring after the driver’s apparent lapse in attention. The reporting centers on the moment captured on video, which is used to illustrate the alleged microsleep. The article frames the event as leading to Dray’s death, while presenting the driver’s actions in the moments before the collision as the key factor.
