THE family of a much-loved gran killed in an horrific head-on car smash have spoken movingly of the 'big void in our lives' and of the 'irreparable damage caused by the actions of a 100mph driver.
Doris 'Dot' Bridgehouse, 82, died at the scene on Halifax Road in Littleborough, Rochdale, in May 2022.
'Idiotic' Audi driver Trent Simm, who reached speeds of 118mph in a 30mph zone moments before the impact, was jailed last week for seven years and four months for causing her death by dangerous driving and causing serious injury to two others, Dot's daughter Amanda Holmes, 56, and her grandson, Max, Amanda's 22-year-old son.
Amanda, from West Yorkshire, was a front seat passenger and spent more than a month in hospital fighting for her life. Dot's grandson Max, a rear seat passenger, suffered severe seatbelt injuries and internal bleeding. They had all been to Salford University on the day, where Max was studying, to celebrate him finishing his degree course.
Yesterday, Amanda and Max revealed Dot was a nurse in Tameside and Oldham for more than 25 years dedicating her life to helping others as they revealed treasured family album photographs of her at work decades ago.
