Mohammed Atif was jailed for 20 months
A driver who mowed down an elderly woman as she crossed the road claimed he was ‘dazzled by the sunlight’.
Philip Hall, prosecuting, said: “There is CCTV which shows Mrs Buckley begin to cross the road, a Ford Fiesta being driven by Mr Atif comes very quickly into view while Mrs Buckley is around halfway across the road. Atif admitted that he was aware he had struck Mrs Buckley but he failed to offer help and instead drove away. In a basis of plea, he later said he was “dazzled by the sun” but the Crown did not accept this.
“He is deeply remorseful - the first thing he would like to say is sorry,” his barrister, Bradley Mather said. “He seems to have buried his head in the sand.
