A very drunk woman who staggered onto the motorway for a nap has been arrested and offered support, Surrey Police said.
A SKIP lorry driver whose vehicle struck and killed an elderly woman who was crossing the road has escaped jail and been banned from driving for 18 months. Lewis Barber, 33, said he did not see 89-year-old Vera Neil as she crossed the road at the junction of Pentland Avenue with Broomfield Parade in Chelmsford, between a KFC and a Tesco Express, on June 19, 2019. Chelmsford Crown Court heard Barber, who was turning from one road into the other, immediately stopped his vehicle, tried to help Ms Neil and dialled 999. She was airlifted to Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge where she died a week later.
