Woman fined and banned after fatal crash

3:30pm Thu 4th Sep 08:: written by Francis Batt


A woman has been banned from driving nearly a year after a car crash in Horton last year in which her boyfriend died. 

Ms Taylor, 24, of Pickens Piece, Horton, appeared at Slough Magistrates Court on Monday, where she pleaded guilty to careless driving, driving without a valid MOT and driving a vehicle in a dangerous condition.
Passenger Keith Marshall, 39, of Fairfield Approach, Wraysbury, was pronounced dead at the scene after Ms Taylor's yellow Vauxhall Astra car left the road and collided with a tree at 2.30pm on October 16 last year in Datchet Road.
She was fined £600 for careless driving, disqualified from driving for 12 months and ordered to pay £60 costs. She was also fined £100 plus £60 costs on each of the other two charges.
