TOP HONOUR: Judge James Adkin with Jemma Clark and the High Sheriff of Durham, Robert Harle, after the ceremony at Durham Crown Court
A STAINDROP woman’s “kindness and selflessness” in the aftermath of a catastrophic head-on collision has been recognised in a special ceremony.
Former behavioural teacher Jemma Clark, 35, had just turned onto the A68 near Toft Hill on the morning of September 13, 2018, when Craig Allen, at the wheel of a Kia Venga, attempted an overtaking manoeuvre and collided with chef Nick Copson’s Vauxhall Astra.
Judge James Adkin recommended Mrs Clark for a commendation award after hearing her witness testimony in April at Durham Crown Court when Allen, 46, of Front Street, Stanhope, was convicted of causing serious injury by dangerous driving and jailed for 38 months.

People echoed the views of Stephen Ellis, who said the £7 million spent on Sadlers Mead car park in Chippenham could have gone to “countless” other projects.
Only five cars were spotted in the vast multi-story there last Saturday - with the council urged to do more to encourage more people to use it. Rosemary Penny: Why would anyone want to come to Chippenham now it’s not the lovely market town of my childhood it’s been totally spoilt by bad planning decisions. Jo Corbett: I’ve used it once. It was a really hot day. I just wanted a parking spot in the shade. Otherwise I wouldn’t choose to park there.
