UK pensioner who drove despite poor sight jailed over young child's death

A British pensioner who killed a three-year-old girl weeks after being told to stop driving because of poor eyesight has been jailed for four years.

John Place, who hit Poppy-Arabella Clarke and her mother Rachel on a pelican crossing in Sutton Coldfield, admitted charges of causing death and serious injury by dangerous driving at Birmingham Crown Court earlier this month.
