A 20-year-old was killed in a ‘Starsky and Hutch’-style stunt trying to jump 30ft across a harbour in his car.
Jamie Hocking had told friends he would one day use a pier as a ramp and leap over the water in his Rover hatchback and land on the other side.

I'm shocked, shocked, to see that drink may have played a part in this...
Did like the family's description of him as 'a loveable rogue', though. A description that always makes me silently thank 10 pints of cider, gravity, electricity, deep water, doors marked 'Keep Out!', etc.
Well apparantly he had been talking about doing it for a while so I don't think the drink is entirely to blame.
"Well who could have foreseen that this was a bad idea?"
Sir Isaac Newton, for one.
