96-Year-Old Woman Spared Jail After Causing Fatal Crash

June Mills received an 18-month suspended sentence for causing the death of Brenda Joyce and injuring Jennifer Ensor in a car accident last year.

June Mills, 96, lost control of her car, killing Brenda Joyce, 76, and injuring Jennifer Ensor, 80, in Formby, Merseyside.
Mills' car accelerated unexpectedly, causing it to mount the pavement as she left a bridge club.
Judge Simon Medland KC described the case as a 'tragedy' and deemed an immediate prison sentence unnecessary.
Mills was given an 18-month suspended sentence, fined £1,500, and disqualified from driving for five years.
Brenda Joyce's husband did not support the prosecution, and Mills expressed deep remorse for the incident.
