Nobody died, just breathe in, relax.

There is now a murder enguiry after the driver killed a
child. There are FIVE injured as well.

Indeed. And this takes the matter rather outside the scope
of being a road traffic accident.

how many bicycles were involved?

Â* A rhetorical question can end with ?Â*Â* or !Â*Â*Â* or a period.

It seems counterintuitive, but that's the way English works. It's
called a rhetorical question, and it can end in either a question
mark or an exclamation point, and in dialogue you can sometimes
even have a speaker's rhetorical question end in a period (1). ...
No question about that.10 Jul 2009

A passage which ends with an exclamation mark is an exclamation*.

Not that it matters all that much because your "rhetorical
question" [sic] ended with a full stop.

[* As I remember it, people were always "exclaiming" things in the
Billy Bunter books. it seems to have fallen out of fashion now.]

Â* Anyway, it would be pointless inserting a question mark when
conversing with Cheerless, because he never replies to me.

:-)

I've just remembered: the other thing characters in the Billy Bunter
books (and in the other school stories Pemberton wrote) were always
doing was "ejaculating".

If you haven't read them, you may think I'm kidding. But I'm not.

[This post has been at least as on-topic as any reporting a
motor-vehicle collision.]

Was he ejaculating during social intercourse? :-)

As I recall, they always were (there were more than one at it).
