David Sinar, 64, was doing 40mph when Amber Potter’s Vauxhall Corsa ploughed into him.
Amber Potter, 23, swapped a string of messages with him and other friends at the wheel A woman killed a scooter driver after driving into him at 70mph while using her phone to send a winking selfie to her boyfriend. Amber Potter, 23, swapped a string of messages with him and other friends at the wheel while driving from Glastonbury to Norfolk late on September 15, 2021.
Chris Youell, prosecuting, said Potter had taken pictures of herself and exchanged phone and Facebook messages with her boyfriend and others. Of 55 messages found on her phone during the journey, 20 were ones she had sent together with audio clips with background road noise suggesting she was driving at the time. She later claimed to police that the rear lights on Mr Sinar’s scooter had not been on when she crashed into the back of him but CCTV at a garage had proved it was lit.
