A 90-year-old driver killed a couple by - BBC News

A 90-year-old driver who killed a couple by reversing into them has been given a two-year suspended sentence.

Philip Bull made a "genuine but catastrophic mistake" when he backed into Clare Haslam, 44, and Deborah Clifton, 49, outside Withington Hospital, a judge said.

Manchester Crown Court heard Bull pressed the accelerator instead of the brake in his automatic car.

He earlier admitted two counts of causing death by dangerous driving.

Bull had been dropping his wife Audrey, 87, at the hospital in Manchester on 7 March when he hit Ms Haslam and Ms Clifton.
