Interesting, but I'm not sure what the police could have done to prevent him doing this, unless, of course, he was known for making threats to drive his car into people. Local oddball whose MH has tipped him after the death of his father would be my guess. Perhaps teenagers have been causing him issues and this was revenge. We'll see what comes out.

He was detained indefinitely under the Mental Health Act, and a report on the case has come out this week:
The report details how Glover was claiming as early as April 2016 that he was being harassed and police would not be interested until ‘he drove his car into a large group of people’.
On June 27, 2019, police temporarily blocked his number after he called them six times in ten minutes.
One of these calls contained another chilling threat to run over ‘lots of children’. Glover again threatened to run down children during six separate calls to Essex Police on September 17, 2019 – less than three months before the attack that killed Harley.
Four days earlier, one of Glover’s neighbours had emailed police to warn that Glover had been seen ‘driving up and around the school’.
