A motorist who hit a 92-year-old woman in his Land Rover is "unlikely" to have been able to stop the crash which killed her, an inquest heard.Emergency crews including an air ambulance helicopter rushed to Bridgnorth when Barbara Gwilt was hit by the vehicle, driven by Richard Beaman.
However, the case was later dropped, with the Crown Prosecution Service offering no evidence due to the"unlikely prospect of conviction". Evidence from an eyewitness on the fateful day, September 10, 2021, was read out at the hearing. The witness said he and his partner were in the town centre and about 30ft away from Mrs Gwilt when they saw her raise her hand while looking in the direction of the Land Rover. He said she made it about half-way across the road before she was hit and thrown into the air.
