Man sentenced for causing serious road crash at East Knoyle
It's in connection with a four vehicle collision on the A350 in July 2022
A man's been given an 18 month driving back after admitting causing serious injury by careless driving.
57 year old Scott Hudson, from Whitton Croft Road in Bradford was involved in a four vehicle collision on the A350 at East Knoyle on July 15th 2022.
One woman suffered life-changing injuries in the crash, after her arm was trapped between her VW Transporter and the road surface.
She's had to have 'significant surgeries' since.
In a victim impact statement supplied to the court, the woman who is aged in her 60s from Dudley, described how the collision and the injuries she sustained have impacted her life:
“Having survived the confines of COVID, 2022 was to be our year of liberation and our brand new campervan was an integral part of our future plans.
“The accident crushed all our hopes and dreams - we lost money spent on tickets for music festivals and pre booked camping for the summer. The accident brought back even harder mental and physical restrictions than we had enduring during COVID. The accident crippled our future plans, we have lost a year so far, healthy years that are incredibly previous in retirement. I will forever be reminded of the accident from the scars I now carry for the rest of my life.”
Hudson has appeared at Salisbury Magistrates Court and as well as the driving ban, been given an 18 month community order to complete 300 hours of unpaid work, ordered to pay £85 Crown Prosecution Service costs, and a £114 victim surcharge.
