Crash Details: Shopper Tragically Killed
On 18 September 2020, at around 2pm, 69-year-old Susan Stanford was crossing West Quay Road after leaving Asda with her shopping trolley. Andres carelessly turned onto the road in his Vauxhall Insignia and struck the pensioner.
Bystanders rushed to help as paramedics arrived. Susan was taken to Southampton General Hospital with serious injuries but sadly passed away six days later on 24 September 2020.
Harsh Sentence and Driving Ban
Andres was ordered to complete 250 hours of unpaid work and pay a £95 victim surcharge plus £85 in costs. He was also banned from driving for 12 months.
Inspector Craig Tatton of the traffic unit said: “This case is a sad reminder of the devastating consequences that can result from even a momentary lapse of concentration when someone is at the wheel.”
Family Pay Emotional Tribute to ‘Sue’
Susan Diane Stanford 26/03/1951 – 26/09/2020
“Sue was taken from us to a heavenly place on 26th September 2020. She leaves behind her devoted husband Dave and two beloved daughters Jadine and Kirsty who will carry on her legacy with love and smiles.
Sue had recently moved to her dream home in Creekmoor but spent much of her adult life in Berlin. Born in Bournemouth, Sue was cherished by her late parents Emily and Reginald Light, and her twin brother Tony.
Sue is missed and loved daily by all who knew her. She touched everyone with her love, friendship, and passion for life. RIP.”
