A gran fell to her death from a cliff in a tragic mobility scooter accident during a family holiday which left her severely injured grandson trapped in hospital. Janet Hobbs tragically died after she lost control of the mobility scooter she and her grandson Alfie Nicholas had been riding in Benidorm, with the scooter crashing into a road barrier, throwing her over it.
Eleven-year-old Alfie was sent to hospital with numerous injuries, with his parents Jordan Hedley and Tom Nicholas unaware of what happened, having been back home in Cambridge at the time as reported by The Mirror. Alfie had been enjoying the holiday with his grandparents Janet and John Nicholas, with him and his grandmother making their way home from a trip to see the Cross of Benidorm when tragedy struck on August 24.
The grandmother and grandson had been riding on a two-seated mobility scooter with Janet sat in front, and Alfie behind. Mum Jordan Hedley said: “Alfie was on holiday with his grandparents, me and Tom were back home. They were on a two-seater mobility scooter, his nana was sat on the front and Alfie was sat on the back. They were coming downhill going back to their hotel, they’d been to see the Benidorm Cross.
