A former footballer whose careless driving fatally injured a former soldier on a zebra crossing went on to commit three separate subsequent speeding offences while on bail
A former footballer whose careless driving fatally injured a former soldier on a zebra crossing - before he calmly lit a cigarette and left the scene - went on to commit three separate subsequent speeding offences while on bail for the death charge, a shocked judge heard today.
"To not only drive but to drive at excessive speed is something that I find difficult to understand." "But you have a statutory protection and I can't send you to custody unless it's the only appropriate disposal, the only way to be satisfied about that is to have a report that canvasses that in more detail."
He was thrown 9.62 metres, suffering such a severe head injury that he died in hospital two days later. An eye witness described Smart's van doing "excessive speed", though police estimated 20 to 27 mph, and then "a loud bang".
