Woman who caused death of pensioner after hitting him with car avoids jail

A woman who caused the death of a pensioner after she hit him with her car has been ordered to carry out 240 hours of unpaid work.

Sara McGuire, 34, struck William Munro, 90, as he made his way across a road using a mobility walker. Munro had been on a shopping trip in Hamilton, Lanarkshire, when he was hit by her Ford Kuga vehicle.

The impact caused the grandfather to bounce off the car and onto the road where he suffered fatal head injuries. An investigation revealed the pensioner had not activated the traffic lights and a red man was showing for pedestrians.
