She travelled in time to correct the error, once again turning left and restoring events to their original course. (TV: Turn Left)

Brian Hopley, Maggie Hopley's husband, died in a car crash. (TV: A Day in the Death)

Luke Rattigan created ATMOS, a device which stopped cars from producing CO2. In actuality, ATMOS would also release a gas that would suffocate humans, but allow Sontaran clones to thrive on Earth.
