Dad turns detective to solve mystery of football fan son's death The dad of a young Celtic fan killed on a motorway after he boarded the wrong bus home has vowed to investigate his son's death in a bid for answers.
At a hearing into an inquest in October last year, assistant coroner for Cumbria, Dr Nicholas Shaw, said: "The brief circumstances are that he was struck by probably a number of vehicles whilst a pedestrian on the motorway.
Father-of-one John, 22, had attended Celtic's Scottish Premiership game against Hearts, but alighted from the bus 100 miles from his home in Newton Mearns, Glasgow.
John Burns, 22, was hit by multiple vehicles on the M6 near Carlisle in a fatal collision on September 14 last year.
We don't know if he spoke to someone at the game who encouraged him to get on the bus - or get off.".
