Anna Chesterfield has two young children. She was injured in a hit-and-run in Lower Hutt in January. The judge acknowledged that the victim was in court and had been expected to read her victim impact statement, but granted the application for an adjournment. However he noted that Harris’ sentence options were “limited”. Harris had pleaded guilty at a court appearance in February to charges of careless driving causing injury, failing to stop at the scene of a crash, and driving while forbidden. He will now be sentenced on September 3. According to the police summary of facts, Harris had been using his phone moments before he struck Chesterfield, who had taken six steps into a marked pedestrian crossing. He said he didn t see her until his grey Mitsubishi Diamante was at the crossing.
