'He was the drunkest person I have ever seen behind the wheel of a car' - RIP Fenella 💔
A drink driver who killed a 20-year-old woman after his car counted a pavement in Stalham has been jailed.
Despite efforts to save her life, Fenella died at the scene. The second pedestrian, a 16-year-old girl, suffered cuts and bruising. While in custody at Great Yarmouth Police Investigation Centre, approximately four hours after driving into Fenella and the teenage girl, he was recorded as having 120 micrograms of alcohol in his breath. Officers calculated this would have been approximately 158 micrograms if taken at the roadside after the crash. The legal limit is 35 micrograms per 100 millilitres.
“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 it killed my 20-year-old daughter. She was a young adult beginning her life and her bright future was taken out in a few seconds because of someone who did not think or did not care. I sob because she was so happy: she was so lovely inside and out she was so alive and now she isn't here, and never will be again.
PC Callum Walchester, who arrested Waite at the scene of the collision, said: “I’ve been a PC for 10 years and worked in roads policing for almost six years, and he was the drunkest person I have ever seen behind the wheel of a car.”
