Megan Murphy, 26, is reported to have pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving after a man, Darryl Tomlinson, is said to have been run over repeatedly in Wigan. Multiple outlets say the incident happened in the early hours of January 9, when Murphy drove the wrong way down a one-way street in Marsh Green. Several reports state she failed to defrost her windscreen properly or before driving, after which she entered the restricted direction. Accounts across sources describe Tomlinson as having collapsed or fallen into the road, and Murphy allegedly stopped and ran over him more than once. Court reporting also includes details of language Murphy used toward Tomlinson, with outlets saying she referred to him as “smackhead” and similar insults after he was in the road. The papers differ mainly in phrasing and specific wording attributed to Murphy, but they broadly agree on the core sequence: Murphy’s driving into the wrong direction on a one-way road, her repeated running over of the collapsed man, and her admission to the dangerous driving offence leading to Tomlinson’s death.
