The victim had only gone out for a coffee
A heartbroken neighbour said she wished she could have saved a Chilwell pensioner who died after being pushed to the floor by a drunk motorist. Neil Robinson, 75, was crossing Ranson Road after going out for a coffee on December 16 last year when he encountered James Gill.
He died from head injuries six days later - on his grandson's ninth birthday. Louise Welmsley, whose house has a view of the road on which it took place, said she wished she could have helped Mr Robinson."I went to go and park at the hospital earlier than usual as the parking situation was quite bad," recalled the 53-year-old community carer. "If I'd have been home I might have been able to do something to help.
Gill, 39, of Station Road, Arksey, Doncaster, was sentenced to a total of seven years over the offence, with nine months being added for offences in Sheffield. Some in Chilwell believed it was not enough.
