A driver has been convicted of killing a pensioner being pushed by his wife across a road in a wheelchair. Stuart Lefevre was heard to say he didn't see them as he was looking at his sat nav, a court heard.
Tragically, a month after the impact the 91-year-old man died due to injuries sustained. Lefevre, 47, of Leighton Road in Knowle, denied causing the death of Raymond Powell by careless driving on Cleeve Hill on March 6, 2020.
After a trial at Bristol Crown Court a jury of eight women and four men took two hours and 24 minutes to unanimously convict him today (Tuesday, July 26). Judge Mark Horton bailed Lefevre, pending a probation report, for sentence on August 19.
