News summary

June Mills, a 96-year-old woman from Ainsdale, has pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving after her Vauxhall Corsa mounted the kerb and hit two pedestrians, resulting in the death of 76-year-old Brenda Joyce. The incident occurred on August 2, 2022, in Formby, where Mills admitted to applying too much accelerator, causing her to panic and lose control of the vehicle. Her defense attorney noted her previous good character and limited mobility, stating that she is unlikely to be fit for unpaid work due to her deteriorating health. The court proceedings took place at Liverpool Crown Court, where Mills remained in a wheelchair during her plea. She has been released on unconditional bail and will be sentenced on September 30. Mills is believed to be the oldest woman in Britain to be convicted of such an offense.
