Driver tells police she killed RAF veteran on way to Take That concert

The moment a driver told police she hit a woman on her way to a Take That concert was captured on police bodycam footage. Fiona Hodge, 69, of St Werburghs, Bristol, was driving along the A370 Brunel Way into Bristol on 9 June 2024 with two friends, returning from a walk in the Mendips, a court heard. Donna Crossman, 53, from Bridgend in Wales, was walking with her friends to attend the Take That concert at Ashton Gate Stadium. The trio were walking over a bridge when Hodge mounted the pavement, narrowly missing Mrs Crossman’s two friends before colliding with her and hitting the railings, knocking her off the bridge, police said. Ms Crossman was taken to hospital but died as a result of her injuries the following day. Hodge was found guilty by a jury at Bristol Crown Court on Monday, 20 April, for causing death by careless driving.
