Oh I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope everything turns out alright.

Thinking of everyone Gillie, Caz xxxxxxxx

UPDATED TODAY!! Sas Will appear at Lewes Crown Court on 27th September accused of Death By Dangerous Driving. I was so shocked to hear this, apparently she was supposed to have been speeding, she did a breatherliser and was clear thank goodness. I hopefully shall be going to the Court on that day to see what happens, I'm not sure if she is being trialed by a jury or has pleaded guilty, I think she shouLd plead not guilty on the account she has no memory of the accident, she cannot admit to something she has no memory of. I hope all goes well for her. Gillie XXX

Gillie, I too hope all goes well for her and I shall be thinking of her and all the family's concerned. Sue x

I just hope that they can get their lives back on track. Best wishes to them xxxx Bob

Please keep us informed, Gillie, Thinking of all concerned.

HI Gillie, I do remember your thread. So very tragic. I hope the outcome is what is wanted and everyone continues to recover. My thoughts go to the family of Dayna. All the best. Tina x

Gillie. All my love and thoughts with everyone, Caz xxxxx

yes i remember your thread, big hugs to all lynn x

I am sure she will receive a small sentence. She was not over the limit.perhaps the parents of the dead girl would be allowed to appeal for leniency? My partners sister died in a head on collision. The two people in the other car were also killed. The driver was drunk and knew it. He was sentenced to three years and a five year driving ban. (he was out in 18 months)

Updated today, 16th. Oh Dear, I am so upset, Sas the driver of the car that killed her best friend and seriously injured another friend has been back to the police as requested, she will appear at the Magistrates Court on the 29th May and will be charged with ..Driving with undue care and attention and Death by dangerous driving, she will then have her case refered to the Crown Court. I know she has killed someone but I really can't help feeling so sorry for her, she is in a terrible state and is suffering the guilt, killing her friend is hard enough to live with as well as the serious injury she caused to her other friend, and the suffering she has caused to the dead girls family, the parents of the girl killed are not blaming Sas in any way for her death, I dread to think what sentence she will have at the end of all this. I will keep you all informed of the outcome, I may well go to Crown Court and see the outcome and support her if I can. Gillie XX

I'm pleased that Lucy is making progress. While I appreciate that Sas feels guilt for her friend's death, I think that it is highly likely that she will be charged with causing death by dangerous driving unless it can be shown that road conditions were responsible. The fact that it was a single vehicle accident tilts the evidence towards driver error. It is also the driver's responsibility to ensure that passengers are wearing a seat belt and the fact that she did not do so will also count against her.

I was away when you put this up in february but yes I do remember the case and wondered at the time if the girl who was killed was wearing a seat belt. (a lesson here to be learnt). Sorry to hear that the driver is to be charged but if she was indeed doing 60 in a 40 mile limit that showed an awful lack of judgement. I would say the death of her friend has probably been punishment enough, and the friend not wearing a seat belt should hopefully give mitigating circumstances. but it is difficult to see how the court case will go. Please keep us informed Oh, yes, pleased to hear that Lucy is doing OK. Ann Glos

Todays Update. It's not good news, Sas the driver of the car that killed her best friend and seriously injured her other friend who sustained a broken neck and other injuries, she appeared at the Police Station as requested by them on the 5th March to be told to return on the 25th, she did this and will now have to appear in court, The charge may be dangerous driving or death by dangerous driving, I don't know if ahe will be charged with anything else apart from the fact she appears to have been speeding!, me and Andy drove that route yesterday and the speed limit is 40 mph, Sas was reputed to have been driving at 60mph! If that is the truth I am shocked, she was never a speed driver while she was going out with my son, I am still in shock. The outcome is she may appear in court on a charge of ''dangerous driving'', ''death by dangerous driving'' or she won't be charged with anything at all, circumstances in the accident dictate the outcome, for instance, the 2 wearing seat belts survived be it injured, the 1 not wearing a seat belt was killed, all these factors come into account as to whether someone will be done for dangerous driving or death by dangerous driving. I will let you all know what happens at the court case, I have no idea when that will be. Gillie XX

Yes, I do remember Gillie. Such a hard time for them all, it was an accident, I do hope there are no charges against this poor girl. Think they have all suffered enough...I do hope they can start rebuilding their lives and move on..thinking of them all and sending love and ((hugs)).. Nanna-Moo xxx

Thank you Carol, I so hope all goes well for Sas, she has had punishment enough, she hasn't driven a car since the accident, I don't know if she will again. Catherine thank you for saying such lovely things about me, I do my very best with my lads and there friends who know us ( me and Andy) very well, I've known most of them and there parents since the day they were born and they become part of an extended family to us, if any of them are in any trouble or a parent isn't around to help them, they know they have us here to rely on. Thank you Nanna Moo, I too hope they can start to rebuild lives and make new friends as well as staying with the ones they have. Take Care everyone. Gillie XX

I remember about the accident Gillie and was so saddened by it, Thanks for updating us and I send sas all my luck for the 5th march. The poor lass has enough guilt to live with without being charged, there but for the grace of God go many of us, take care, Caz xxxx

Thank you Catherine, I think too it was only an accident and not through stupid behaviour. I have seen Lucy again today, she told me about her neck operation, she has 6 screws hold her neck in place. Gillie XX

Yes Gillie I remember the thread now- Hope everything goes ok for everyone was such a tragic thread. Your son's ex has suffered enough- Glad Lucy is on the mend too. catherine xx
