June Mills, of Ainsdale in Merseyside, was given an 18-month suspended sentence at Liverpool Crown Court yesterday after mounting the kerb in her Vauxhall Corsa and hitting two people on 2 August last year.
Mills, who can only walk a few paces, admitted causing the death of Brenda Joyce, 76, and injuring Jennifer Ensor, 80, after all three finished at their local bridge club on Elbow Lane in Formby.
Sentencing Mills, Judge Simon Medland KC said: “On any view and from every angle this case is an utter tragedy. Mrs Joyce died, Mrs Ensor was injured, you have lost your good character and are in the dock of Liverpool Crown Court.”
Robert Dudley, prosecuting, told the court Ms Joyce and Ms Ensor had been walking along the pavement after leaving the bridge club – which they attended alongside Mills – when the collision happened.
