A driver who hit and killed a man as he attempted to walk across a motorway fled the country after the crash, an inquest has heard.
Jake Glover-Brown, 25, was hit on the M1 near Barnsley in 2019.
He "died instantaneously", Sheffield Coroners' Court heard, and driver Lukas Kandrac abandoned the vehicle and took a flight to Slovakia.
When he returned to the UK he told police he had "panicked". He was later charged with failing to stop.
