A six-year-old girl died after a reckless driver mounted the pavement and hit the youngster, who was walking hand-in-hand with her dad. John Owen has been told he is facing prison after he admitted to colliding with Sharlotte-Sky Naglis.
At court yesterday, Owen pleaded guilty to killing Sharlotte by dangerous driving on June 19 last year. A psychiatrist had been instructed to assess Owen’s fitness to plead ahead of the hearing.
The 45-year-old, from Stoke-on-Trent, was told it was “inevitable” that he would now be jailed. Judge Graeme Smith said the situation was a “particularly tragic case,” reported StokeonTrentLive.
