Fenella Hawes, 20, was carrying sunflowers to give to her mother Margaret when a car driven by Malcolm Waite, 68, mounted the pavement and ploughed into her.
A heartbroken mum has released the last photo of her daughter, taken just 20 minutes before she was killed by a drink driver.
A 16-year-old girl who was walking with Fenella was also hit, but escaped with cuts and bruises in the crash on the A149 road at 4.30pm on July 31 this year. ‘I sob for the future that she doesn’t have because a drunken man chose to get into a car, knowing that this was a weapon that could kill someone, and indeed it did.

Officers found him slumped in the driver’s seat, smelling strongly of alcohol with a half-drunk bottle of vodka beside him.
