Elliott Nash, 33, hit Judge Matthew Mawdsley, 54, as he tried to cross a busy dual carriageway to reach his hotel following a Christmas night out with colleagues.

An uninsured driver who knocked down a district judge with his car seconds before he was run over and killed by multiple vehicles has been spared jail.

Mr Mawdsley had recently been appointed as a district judge for the West Midlands following a career as a barrister and had been at a judge's lunch earlier in the day. He previously admitted failing to stop after an accident and driving while uninsured, and was sentenced to four months in jail, suspended for 12 months today .

Philip Bradley, prosecuting, said his decision to cross at the point where he did may have been influenced by the fact he had been drinking and was disorientated, Nash later told police officers he was aware he had hit someone having seen it happen either in his rear view or wing mirror but still returned home.

'And in another he said he did not think it was a serious incident that warranted involvement of the emergency services.'
