A police officer who arrested a man whose car mounted a pavement and killed a 20-year-old woman said he was "the drunkest person I have ever seen behind the wheel of a car". Malcolm Waite, 68, has now been jailed for eight years.
Waite, 68, was also disqualified from driving for another seven years and told he must take a compulsory driving before he can drive again. He had pleaded guilty to one count of causing the death of Fenella Hawes on Sunday, July 31, 2022.
Norwich Crown Court heard on Friday, November 18, how Waite had been driving a Lexus RX SUV along the A149 Wayford Road, between the B1159 junction and Chapel Field Road, Stalham, Norfolk, shortly before 4.30pm on July 31 when his car, traveling at speed, mounted the pavement and hit two pedestrians - a teenage girl and a 20-year-old woman.
