Grandmother killed in freak accident as driver suffers coughing fit and hits road sign which falls on her head

A grandmother on her way to her granddaughter's Christening was killed in a freak accident when a driver suffered a coughing fit.

Veronica Hartley, 65, was standing with her husband John on a pavement in Plymouth, Devon, when Roy Pellett crashed his car.

Pellett had suffered from a severe coughing fit and closed his eyes momentarily as he swerved into the cycle lane.

He then hit a sign and the top of it fell off hitting Mrs Hartley on the head causing catastrophic injuries, killing her instantly.
