The BBC have a small news report which tells us that (my emphasis):
"Man dies in Christmas M-way crash
A 28-year-old man has been killed after getting out of his car on the M1 motorway in South Yorkshire.
The man, from Leigh, Greater Manchester, left his red Audi A4 in the third lane after it struck the central reservation on Christmas Day evening.
He went to the hard shoulder but was hit by a gold Jaguar car as he tried to get back to his vehicle, near junction 35 of the southbound carriageway.
Police have urged witnesses to the crash to come forward.
The driver of the Jaguar, a 50-year-old man from Rotherham, suffered minor cuts and bruising.
The carriageway was closed for several hours after the crash."
A 50-year-old man from Rotherham, is that all the BBC know? It seems unlikely as the Daily Mail reports the story in a touch more detail:
"Labour peer Lord Ahmed in horror M1 smash that leaves motorist dead
Labour peer Lord Ahmed has been involved in a six-car Christmas Day horror smash that claimed the life of a Slovakian driver.
The 49-year-old Muslim peer was at the wheel of his gold coloured X Type Jaguar when it ploughed into an Audi A4 that had broken down in the fast lane of the M1 near Rotherham..."
If the driver of the Jaguar had been a Conservative MP or a Conservative councillor or even a Conservative supporter then the BBC would have made that information available but since it is a Labour peer, not a word. The BBC proud to protect the Labour party from any scandal they can.

Still saying that even now. Most of the Daily newspapers carry the full story.
Good old Beeb! Nothing (even failing to accurately report the news) is too much for the Labour Party..
