A judge will sentence a Wigan motorist who has admitted that her careless driving caused a crash which seriously injured a pensioner.

Deborah Cubas de Souza appeared before Crewe justices to accept blame for the collision with an 81-year-old woman in the Latchford area of Warrington earlier this month.

The hearing was told that Cheshire Police officers on patrol in Warrington came across a black Toyota Yaris which had hit the elderly pedestrian near a crossing on Knutsford Road at around 12.44pm on April 5.

The victim sustained serious, but non-life threatening, injuries and was taken to the Royal Salford Hospital.

The incident occurred near the post office on Knutsford Road, Latchford
