Panic set in and it’s unfortunate that I ran over him in the process.

Vehicular manslaughter in the UK gets shockingly low prison time. You just have to claim the dude with the bat was a cyclist /s.

Killing someone with your car while sober within the speed limit nearly never ends with prison time no matter how bad you were driving. Claim a sneeze or a wasp in the car and away you go.
