UK driver jailed for dangerous driving that led to elderly woman with Alzheimer’s losing both legs
A bus driver in Britain was sentenced to 27 months in jail on Thursday for dangerous driving that led to an elderly woman losing both her legs.
Cliff, who is 49, claimed he recognised her as someone who had previously not paid for her ride, so he closed the doors and drove off. Mrs Scott had one leg amputated at the scene of the tragedy, while the other was removed in hospital a few hours later. The court also heard that passengers on the bus saw Mrs Scott hold her hands up to the doors. They formed the view that the driver must have seen her. They then saw her lose her balance and fall onto the road.
