Driver who hit motorcyclist was uninsured
Its being reported that a female motorist from Birmingham, West Mids who knocked a motorcyclist off his bike, was driving without a valid driving licence and was also an uninsured driver.
The incident occurred in when Heather Anderton, 31, was driving her Ford Ka across a roundabout near her home. It is believed that she has an automatic only driving licence and was driving a manual car.
It is alleged that Miss Anderton was using her mobile phone when arriving at a roundabout, and didnt see the motorcycle, being ridden by Simon Smith which had already entered the roundabout. Miss Anderton's car drove straight into the side of the motorcycle, causing Mr Smith to be flung from his motorcycle. Mr Smith suffered numerous injuries including a broken femur, 2 broken legs and a collapsed lung. Mr Smith remains in the hospital High Dependency Unit this evening.
Anderton, a graphic designer, has been charged for driving with no insurance and dangerous driving. Its believed Miss Anderton also fled the scene straight after the accident. She later voluntarily gave herself in.
An eyewitness had this to say; "I saw a Ford Ka being driven who I now know to be Heather Anderton across a roundabout. I was waiting at the roundabout in the left hand lane and could clearly see the motorcycle coming around the roundabout. The Ford Ka just entered the roundabout without the driver even looking for any other road users."
It is believe Heather Anderton is no stranger to breaking the law having already lost her driving licence for a previous drink driving conviction.
