Grieving son handed £100 fine after driving 140 miles during night to see dying dad

A grieving son was hit with a £100 fine after he drove 140 mikes in the middle of the night to visit his dying father.

David Risdale, from Nottingham, received a 3am call from his mum to tell him his 91-year-old father had fallen and suffered cardiac arrest on November 27, last year.

Without thinking, David set off on the three hours journey in the middle of the night, despite the treacherous conditions to try and see his dad one more time and be there when he passed, TeesideLive reports.
