First picture of driver who killed motorcycling dad-of-two in A448 ‘careless overtake’

This is the first picture of a careless driver who killed a motorcyclist after overtaking traffic. West Mercia Police issued Fay Newman's mugshot after she was jailed for causing his death by careless driving. The 52-year-old, of Upper Field Close, Redditch[1], was driving down the A448 Bromsgrove[2] Highway towards Redditch in her Kia Ceed when she overtook traffic and collided with Nick Bennell on his Honda motorbike.

The dad-of-two, 35 and from Worcester, had come off his bike in a separate incident moments before and, with traffic in lane one of the dual carriageway, Newman moved to lane two before she struck him.
