Man, 76, who killed mum after running over her with motorhome in car park avoids jail

A pensioner who killed a mum when he ran her over in his motorhome has avoided jail after being handed a suspended prison sentence.

Angela Booth died after being dragged under the wheels of the motorhome in the car park of a Morrisons supermarket in Preston on May 24, 2019.

The 39-year-old suffered multiple injuries and was taken to Royal Preston Hospital.

She was later transferred to Wythenshaw Hospital, where she died on June 14.

Charles Edwards, 76, was originally arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

But he pleaded guilty to causing Mrs Booth's death by careless driving and appeared at Preston Crown Court to be sentenced, Lancs Live reported.

The Honorary Recorder of Preston, Judge Robert Altham, handed Edwards, of Up Holland Road, Billinge, a 12 month sentence suspended for two years.

He made a curfew order which means the pensioner must remain at home between 8pm and 6am for seven months and he is disqualified him from driving for five years.

Miss Booth's daughter Rebecca Wiley said: “My mum was such a beautiful young soul, she’ll be loved and missed forever.”
