Woman dies in bus-chase crash

A head-on crash in Devon killed a 41-year-old mother of two when the man giving her a lift to the supermarket went on a high-speed pursuit of a bus.

Paul Snowdon began chasing the vehicle following an argument with one of its passengers at a bus stop.

Snowdon had just overtaken the bus when he crashed on Saturday 9th May

Kelly Gliddon and her partner, Robert Harding, pleaded with Snowdon — who was allegedly sniffing butane gas during the journey — to slow down but he ignored them.

At Exeter Crown Court, Judge Peter Johnson handed the 38-year-old, from Great Torrington, a prison sentence of six years and eight months.
