A Bushey woman has been convicted of careless driving after a motorbike rider was killed when he crashed into the back of her slow-moving car.

Samantha Wilson, 27, of Belle Vue Lane, was cleared of causing the death of Adam Richardson by careless driving, a more serious charge, by a jury at St Albans Crown Court on Wednesday.

The motorcyclist Mr Richardson was lying on the carriageway of the A414 and Ms Wilson’s white Fiat 500car was on fire. When asked to estimate the speed of the Fiat, the witness said: “five or ten miles per hour. It was very confusing. I wasn’t really sure why.“ The jury was told Ms Wilson and a passenger had left Chiswell Green Riding School to go to a horse supplies shop near Dunstable when a warning light came on.

When interviewed by the police two weeks later, on October 7, 2020, the defendant said she had stopped because she was worried about having a mechanical problem.
