[A pensioner who caused the death
of a woman after "falling asleep" has been jailed for a year. Colin Brown, 78, was in a van towing a caravan on the A66 which veered onto the opposite side of the road, crashing into an oncoming vehicle. Ann Copley, 76, from Carlisle, died in the collision, near to the Llama Karma Kafe, east of Penrith, in August 2018. Brown, of Upper Street, Layham, near Ipswich, admitted to causing death by dangerous driving. Carlisle Crown Court heard he was travelling from his home in Suffolk to the Lakes with his wife and had taken three breaks during a seven-hour journey. As Brown's wife slept, the van drifted for 150 metres in around six seconds across the road into the path of car being driven by Mrs Copley. The court heard it gave her "absolutely no chance" to react.] Good he is Jailed https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cumbria-54932000 Last edited by arista; 13-11-2020 at 03:10 PM. |
