A couple who died when their car plummeted 300ft off a cliff near a well-known coastal spot were a bus driver and his wife who was so ill and frail she had hardly left home for two-years, neighbours have told MailOnline.
The tragic couple - named locally today as John and Lynn King - died instantly when their silver Ford Mondeo, which also contained their two Dachshund dogs, drove off a cliff close to the Needles on the Isle of Wight on Friday evening.
John worked as a driver for local bus company, Southern Vectis, and knew the routes around the island well, neighbours said.
One local told MailOnline how she had seen the couple - thought to be aged in their early 70s - just hours before they died.
John was helping Lynn into their car because she was struggling to walk unaided. The couple had their two Dachshund dogs with them.
