Lapse of judgement at pedestrian crossing has terrible consequence

Todd suffered a fractured hip and an acute subdural hemorrhage of the brain. She was taken to hospital, where she died the following day. A large contingent of Todd’s family were in attendance at the sentencing, with some reading out their victim impact statements to the court. Virginia Woolf/Stuff Rosemary Braithwaite appeared for sentence at the Nelson District Court on Thursday. Todd’s grand-daughter said she doubted if the family would ever come to terms with the way she died, which “was tragic and could have been avoided”. “She was selfless, kind and caring, and she had so much life left to live.”

Shadows, sunlight and dark clothing cited as factors in fatal pedestrian crossing accident

Moving forward, she accelerated towards the second crossing, on the east side, the court heard. The victim, Nelson woman Joan Todd, had walked out onto the crossing. Braithwaite failed to stop, the front of her car striking the elderly woman, who was projected forward 4.5 metres, landing on the road. A specialist crash investigator’s analysis of the scene estimated that Braithwaite was travelling between 27 and 33kmh at the time, the court heard. Todd suffered a fractured hip and an acute subdural hemorrhage of the brain. She was taken to hospital, where she died the following day. “In explanation, the defendant stated there was bright sunlight and a strong wind which caused moving shadows along the road where the crossing was,” the summary of facts said.
