“I could have been spared finding my son with those horific injuries”
A mother found her son lying dead in a ditch the morning after he was struck by a banned hit and run driver who has been jailed for seven years and two months.He was hit by a BMW being driven by disqualified driver Cole Tresidder, also 22, around 9.30pm.
Tragically, Josh was found lying face down in a ditch by his own mother, Rachael, just after 7am, Mr Gosnell told the court. Lincolnshire Police collision investigator PC Godfrey Barlow also concluded Tresidder was driving above 60mph when he hit Josh, who was walking in the same direction towards Grantham.
The court heard Tresidder handed himself into a local police station at around midday on 23 April, 2022, after reading reports of a road fatality on social media. In a moving victim impact statement which she read out in court Josh’s mother, Rachael Ashworth, described the horror of going to look for her son and finding him dead.
Tresidder, of Springfield Road, Leicester, had admitted a charge of causing death by careless driving and failing to provide a specimen.
