Andrew Forrest, left, died, after being struck by hit and run driver Sharon Abraham, right A driver ran over a retired lecturer before speeding off and leaving him to die in the road just hours after passing his test. Sharon Abraham, 27, was 20mph over the speed limit when he approached a zebra crossing Andrew Forrest, 75, was using in Eastbourne, East Sussex on July 26 last year.
‘Another vehicle travelling in the opposite direction had correctly stopped at the zebra crossing to allow Mr Forrest to cross. ‘Abraham also claimed he intended to hand himself in to the police. His phone was seized and it showed he had searched for “hit and run collision UK law” before deleting the history.’ Judge Christine Laing told Abraham he was driving at a speed which was ‘highly inappropriate for the prevailing road and weather conditions’.
