He asked his partner to tell police she had been driving.
An uninsured driver has been jailed for 14 months for causing the death of an 81-year-old pedestrian.Harrison Buckley, 24, formerly of Pingles Crescent, Rotherham, had asked his partner to tell police she had been driving.
South Yorkshire Police said initially Mrs Cassidy's head injuries were not thought to be serious, but her health deteriorated and she died in hospital. PC Neil Morrel said officers returned to the scene to review CCTV footage after Mrs Cassidy died which showed she was not driving the vehicle. Buckley had fled the area to Blackpool, but hearing Stokes had been arrested handed himself into police."Buckley knew he would be in trouble for driving a car without insurance and told Stokes she needed to say she was the driver," PC Morrel said."While today's hearing marks the conclusion of legal proceedings, the grief and pain caused by Stokes and Buckley's thoughtless and reckless actions will remain.
