A pensioner has been fined for causing the death by careless driving of a 44-year-old man. Margaret Atkinson, 74, of Plum Tree Close, Big Lane, Clarborough, Retford, pleaded guilty earlier this month.
She returned to Nottingham Magistrates' Court for sentencing on Monday (February 20) and was fined £734, ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £294, and costs of £85.
The victim was Steven Fowler who was crossing the road when the collision happened. He died after being struck by her car. Officers were called to Wharf Road, Retford, after reports of a collision between a car and a pedestrian.
