My daughter was killed in a horror motorway crash – the man responsible was fined just £100
A WOMAN whose daughter was killed in a motorway crash has revealed the man responsible was fined just £100.
During the latest episode of Channel 4‘s 24 Hours in A&E viewers were introduced Joan.
The 87-year-old had been rushed to hospital after falling on a moving tram and hitting her head.
She arrived clutching a chain that contained a picture of her late daughter Lorna.
Joan spoke about Lorna’s tragic death and the last time she ever saw her daughter alive.
She said: “Lorna went to university in Chester, and then she was a PE teacher.
“She was apparently a very good teacher, and the pupils loved her. We bought her a car so she could drive, and she was overjoyed.
“On the Sunday after visiting for the weekend, she got in her car, waved us goodbye, and drove off to Chester.
“And that was the last time we ever saw her properly.”
Joan went on to say that Lorna was sitting in the back of the car while someone else was driving when the crashed occurred.
She said: “There was a car in the fast lane, going at really quick speed. He suddenly swerved into the back of them.
“He hit them with such force, that Lorna was thrown straight through the windscreen. She landed on the motorway.”
When it came to the man responsible, he walked free from court with just a fine.
“This young fella, when it went to court, he was fined £100. That was it,” she added.
Joan made a full recovery from her head injury and has since returned home.
She has even braved trams once again.
