Killer driver only trying to frighten, jury hears
By Allen Cook & PA MediaA driver who ran over and killed a woman has told his trial he drank alcohol and took drugs before "a moment of stupidity" in which he tried to frighten a group of pedestrians.
McHugh, of Artillery Road, Park Hall, Shropshire, also told Stafford Crown Court he had never had a driving lesson or held a driving licence. McHugh told the court he had traded a manual Volkswagen Passat for the automatic Volvo eight days before the death of Ms Steer, from Llanymynech, Powys and an undergraduate at Liverpool John Moores University.
But he told the court he was not angry with them and had reversed to move alongside them to pick up a friend.
