A driver who knocked over and seriously injured a woman during an incident in a Tesco car park in Rickmansworth has been jailed today (18 March 2019) for 38 months.

Lucy Turner, 32, admitted causing serious injury by dangerous driving when, in a bid to get away after being involved in a theft at the Tesco store, she drove onto a pavement in the car park and struck a supermarket employee, breaking her back.

The incident was witnessed by staff and shoppers in the car park just before Christmas last year.

A Businessman from Birmingham has today been sentenced for causing the death of a nine-year-old girl after causing a multiple-vehicle pileup in 2006.

Cerys Edwards was only 11 months old at the time and despite being securely and properly restrained in a child seat, she suffered life-changing injuries. Those injuries meant that Cerys was dependent on a ventilator and required frequent medical care for the rest of her short life. Sadly, on 17 October 2015, Cerys died from respiratory failure as a result of complications from the injuries she suffered.
