Edward Riding, also known as Zeke, has been spared jail time after admitting to causing the death of his colleague, paramedic Alice Clark, in a tragic A21 crash. Maidstone Crown Court heard the devastating details of the incident, which occurred in January 2022, resulting in the loss of 21-year-old Alice Clark’s life.
Riding, responding to an emergency call, was diverted and took a wrong turn, leading to a collision with a cement mixer. The court learned that Riding, aged 45 and an Australian national, had no previous convictions or endorsements on his license. However, concerns had been raised by colleagues about his driving behaviour before the incident.
