True Spiritualism prevails as victim and family forgive driver
The family of a Spiritualist pensioner who died after being hit by a new driver while on her way to church, say they bear the driver “no ill will”.
Motorist Lee Harrison, 23, did not see 88-year-old Margaret Cowen as she crossed Stockton Road, Sunderland, on her way to a church service in June, 2011.
Mr Harrison, who had passed his driving test just six weeks before the accident, had access to his stepfather’s car for a fortnight.
