A mum-of-two has been found guilty of dangerous driving after hitting a four-year-old girl with her car and breaking her leg. The crash took place at a zebra crossing on Jubilee Way South in Mansfield on May 29, 2021.
Joy Ogley, 56, of Mayfair Avenue in Mansfield, was on her way home after working an early morning shift at Tesco when the crash happened at around 2pm. She had picked up some groceries and then embarked on the short journey back before she was due to pick up her 18-year-old son from college later that day, the court was told.
The court heard that two children went to cross the road with their carer behind them, not holding their hand, meaning they ran out into the road. The carer went to grab one of them but the other, a four-year-old girl who was waving to someone, collided with Ogley's Ford KA and suffered a broken right leg.
