Uninsured Driver Avoids Jail After Hitting District Judge

An uninsured driver who hit a district judge with his car before he died has avoided jail. Lawyer Matthew Mawdsley, 54, a father-of-three who lived in Manchester, had been out for work celebrations when he tried to cross the A38 in Birmingham ; a busy carriageway at around 10pm on December 16 2022.

READ MORE It's been three weeks since the body of a woman was pulled from the River Mersey - but nobody knows who she is A jury of six men and six women at Birmingham Crown Court failed to reach a verdict and the prosecution decided not to seek a retrial, so Nash was sentenced for the two offences he pleaded guilty to earlier.

She said: “The devastating consequences of Mr Mawdsley’s decision to cross the A38 led him to tragically lose his life. Nothing I say today will change that. No one who has heard the facts of the case can help but be affected and the ongoing pain and grief for his family must be hard to bear. “You know now, but you should have known then, that your behaviour was shameful and selfish, if not utterly cowardly. You must have suspected that Mr Mawdsley was at least injured. The suggestion that you thought it was not serious is ridiculous.
