Shocking reports coming in from the United Kingdom have spoken about a traffic accident that resulted in the death of a woman but the driver has been spared jail.
Sources from local media outlets claim the 78-year-old driver ran over his wife’s best friend by mistake. And the excuse being put forward by the family is that he pressed the accelerator instead of the brake as he was confused.
The incident reportedly took place in a pub’s car park but while the community has become enraged over the matter, the victim’s own family is speaking out for the first time.
They have appealed to all to remain calm and leniency on the matter. They have also requested privacy during this difficult time of mourning, sources have revealed.
Reports have confirmed how he slammed into his wife’s friend, his own wife, and another woman accompanying them.
The victim named Barbara Daniels died on the spot, due to the critical injuries she had sustained. But the driver couldn’t process what he had done. He revealed how he had stepped on the wrong pedal instead of braking. The accelerator knocked her down, causing instant death.
Sources have gone on to speak about how Mrs. Daniels’s family failed to see any form of hate or malice inside the driver’s heart. They are deeply saddened by the tragic act but know deep down inside that nothing was intentional.
The 78-year-old driver named Henry Booth did appear in court for crushing the victim to death but was soon released afterward, being spared from jail, local media outlets confirmed.
