A 78-year-old driver killed a woman and caused serious injuries to two others in a head-on crash after he accidently hit the accelerator instead of the brake. The mum was travelling with her husband and daughter and was declared dead at the scene.
Terry Ing, of Levitsfield Close, Rockfield, Monmouth, had been approaching the B4235 junction heading towards Usk on September 29, 2021 when he lost control of his silver Suzuki vitara. A sentencing at Cardiff Crown Court on Friday heard how the now 79-year-old's car "flew" across the carriageway on the A472 near Usk, at the junction with the A449. A witness described how Ing's car "narrowly" missed a vehicle recovery operation, before it collided head-on into the Green family's car and killed 73-year-old Francis Green.
Ing was also sentenced for causing serious injury by dangerous driving to Francis' husband John Green and their daughter Beverley Green. The court heard how the Green family from Norwich had been out for the day at Barry Island and were heading back to their holiday home in Monmouth when the crash happened.
