Sheldon and Wayne had been socialising at the Bay Horse pub when they noticed a disturbance involving the convict, Toby Kelly, and his associate Shannon Wooden. Concerned for Wooden’s safety, the two men offered their assistance. However, when Kelly, Wooden, and another man, David Fairclough, were ejected from the pub, they all got into Kelly’s van. As Sheldon and Wayne were leaving the premises, Kelly drove his vehicle into them, causing catastrophic injuries, before fleeing the scene.
