Overview

• Rayner Middleton, 31, received a four-year prison term and a four-year driving ban after pleading guilty at Nottingham Crown Court on July 10.
• CCTV evidence showed Middleton’s Audi reached 46 mph in a 30 mph zone on Huntingdon Street before it struck 89-year-old Doreen Raynor on her mobility scooter.
• A post-incident blood test found Middleton had more than double the legal limit of benzoylecgonine, a cocaine metabolite, in her system at the time of the crash.
• Detective Inspector Jamie Moore called the collision entirely preventable and warned motorists about the risks of speeding and driving under the influence.
• Raynor’s family paid tribute to her decades of community service and spoke of the lasting void left by her senseless death.
