A husband has described the horrific moment he told his sons their mother had died after being killed by a careless driver in a head-on crash. The victim suffered a "devastating" brain injury and abdominal injuries which led to her death six days later in hospital.
Renata Sumiga, 37, was killed during a collision on March 16 last year on the A483 between Llanbister and Camnant in Powys. Her husband Radoslaw Sznajder and two young children were also in the Volkswagen Passat, which was hit by a Toyota Yaris driven by student Mia Price. The 21-year-old had bought a new car and was driving in convoy with her father southbound towards Llandrindod Wells when she veered into the northbound carriageway a second before colliding head-on with the car containing Ms Sumiga.
A sentencing hearing at Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court on Wednesday heard the crash occurred at around 7.26pm but no reason could be discovered for the defendant crossing into the opposite lane. Price has no recollection of what happened and could not give a reason for her loss of attention.
