The "car" was an ute so basically a pick-up truck. I don't know how you can accidentally hit your own wife with it, this being a "hit & run" also seems unlikely so I won't be surprised if foul play suddenly becomes the main plot.

Polish former ski jumper Mateusz Rutkowski, 2004 junior world champion, has died, aged 37.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mateusz_Rutkowski

 

Only 11 World Cup starts in his career, which already ended in 2006. I'm sure our Polish users have heard more about it, but according to Wikipedia there had been tons of problems with alcohol, weight issues and such. Sounds tragic :(

One of the absolute all-time greats of football, Franz Beckenbauer, has passed away today, aged 78.

I hope you don't mind this small correction. He already died yesterday, they just waited until today before giving it to the press.
