Careless Driving Led to Tragic Loss

A woman named Fiona Hodge has been sentenced to one year in prison for causing death by careless driving after her car veered onto a bridge, fatally striking 53-year-old Donna Crossman—whose vibrant life as a former Air Force officer, firefighter, and sports coach left a profound void in her community. Despite Hodge’s claim of an epileptic seizure, the jury rejected it, holding her criminally responsible. She also faces a 2.5-year driving ban and over $3,000 in costs. Donna’s parents, still reeling from their loss, say the verdict brings closure to their two-year battle for justice, though no sentence can undo the tragedy. Police praised the family’s resilience, calling the sentence a necessary step toward accountability. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
