An intoxicated driver who's been described as the 'drunkest driver' a police officer has ever seen mounted the kerb and killed a 'lovely' 20-year-old student. Shocking footage shows the moment Malcolm Waite, 68 was pulled over by police in a Lexus RX SUV after he ran over and killed Fenella Hawes who was delivering a bouquet of sunflowers to her mum.
In the clip, he can be seen slurring his words, refusing to take a breathalyser test and also accusing the officer of calling him a t**t, the Manchester Evening News reports. The drink driver was given an eight year prison sentence at Norwich Crown Court on November 18 for taking Fenella's life.
PC Callum Walchester told the court : “I’ve been a PC for 10 years and worked in roads policing for almost six years, and he was the drunkest person I have ever seen behind the wheel of a car.'' Officers revealed a teenage girl who was also knocked down by Waite during the incident has been left 'traumatised' by the incident and said Waite had caused 'so much pain to so many people'.
The court heard that on July 31 at around 4:30pm Waite had been driving a Lexus RX SUV along the A419 Wayford Road between B1159 Junction and Chapel Field Road when he mounted the kerb and hit two pedestrians. The two victims were a teenage girl and 20-year-old Fenella who was killed.
The court heard how Waite did not stop his car after hitting the two females and kept driving along the A419 for another mile. He finally stopped after his car crashed into a road sign, trees and shrubbery on the side of the road just before the junction at the A419 and Old Market Road.
Officers arrived at the scene of the second crash and found Waite in the drivers seat who smelled strongly of alcohol. The 68-year-old
