A heartbroken widow has paid tribute to her dad-of-two husband who was killed by a drink driver. Mark Osborne, 48, of Mansfield Woodhouse, was killed when his motorbike was clipped by a swerving van on the A60 Mansfield Road, between Papplewick and Arnold, in July last year.
The driver Julieanne Walsh, then 32, of Abbott Road, Mansfield, was sentenced in June to five years in prison for causing death by careless driving when she was over the drink drive limit. Clair Osborne, 48, recalled the shocking moment police officers arrived at her house to tell her Mark had been killed.
“I was on the phone to my daughter and there was a knock at the door. It was police officers and they told me Mark had been killed on his motorbike," she said.
