A teenager has been charged following a horrific hit-and-run crash in which a dog walker was seriously injured and her beloved pet Staffie was killed.
The victim named locally and online as Patricia Faulkner, 53, was taking her eight-year-old pet dog Millie for a walk on July 22, last year when a car ploughed into her.
Harrowing footage of the incident showed the woman walking her dog before the black Renault Clio collided with them, throwing them into a hedge.
She survived the incident, with a broken leg and a gash the length of her calf but her beloved dog sadly died at the side of the road.
