Reddit solves fatal hit & run on a cyclist
The unfortunate cyclist was killed in Eatonville, Washington State. Story below:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-trending-45194123
US Police have made an arrest in a fatal hit-and-run case after an obscure part of a car headlight was identified by a social media user.
On Thursday 9 August, Washington State Police appealed on Twitter for information after a cyclist was hit by an unidentified black vehicle.
Officers shared a photograph of a small piece of metal recovered at the scene.
However, it was after the image was posted to Reddit that a breakthrough came.
The photograph was shared in the sub-Reddit "WhatIsThisThing", which is dedicated to determining obscure objects, plants and animals.

I think they did, from memory back in the 70s/80s... haven't seen one for years though, our current milkman uses a standard van, albeit hybrid.
