Woman, 20, killed by 'drunkest driver police have ever seen'

A student was killed by a driver branded 'the drunkest person I have ever seen' by an experienced police officer. Malcolm Waite, 68, mowed down 20-year-old Lancaster University student Fenella Hawes after he mounted the pavement.

He also hit a teenage girl but the 16-year-old escaped with cuts and bruises. The pair had been walking home from work on a Sunday afternoon in July when Waite crashed into them in Stalham, Norfolk.

Waite didn't stop after ploughing into the pair, carrying on for a mile before smashing into a road sign, trees and shrubbery. He smelt strongly of alcohol but refused to provide a breath test.
