A man was convicted of running over a pregnant woman who lost her unborn child
. Darren Morrison, 20, struck Julie Welsh, 40, in Glasgow's Springburn on December 12, 2020.
Morrison meantime claimed that he did not see Julie until a "split second" before the collision. The first offender denied causing serious injury by dangerous driving at Glasgow Sheriff Court. "She came off the left passenger side windscreen and she ended up further back on the road she was walking on impact."
Experienced driver Patricia Callaghan, 55, claimed she heard the car "revving, not slowing, if anything getting quicker." Miss Callaghan heard a bang and a screech while dog walker Donna McClymont, 48, heard a pop. The court heard that Morrison, his girlfriend and two other friends were heading back to his house after collecting food to watch boxing. In his evidence, Morrison claimed: "I couldn't have done anything differently."
Julie suffered a traumatic head injury, a fractured top rib, a broken left arm, extensive lower leg and pelvic injuries. There were also cuts and bruises to her face, cheeks and knuckles as well as a black eye.
