The shocking moment a Mercedes-driving dental nurse collided with a motorcyclist and his passenger was caught on camera.<\/p>\n

Halle Bae Osborne-Holland pulled out of a petrol station in her prized vehicle without looking to see if anything was coming.<\/p>\n

\"The\"TheThe moment Halle Bae Osborne-Holland collided with biker Christopher Collins and Rebecca Good in London Road, Swanley<\/p>\n

Video footage caught the moment the 22-year-old turned left onto London Road, Swanley, on August 28 last year – colliding with Christopher Collins and Rebecca Good.<\/p>\n

The pair were left seriously hurt, with passenger Miss Good airlifted to a London hospital for specialist medical care.<\/p>\n

Medway Magistrates\u2019 Court heard how Mr Collins couldn\u2019t work for an extended time and now says the incident has destroyed his confidence.<\/p>\n

Student Miss Good had to defer her university graduation for a year because the injuries, including a fractured thigh bone, meant she had to miss essential lectures.<\/p>\n

Osborne-Holland, of Gorse Road, Strood, admitted two counts of causing serious injury by careless driving when she appeared on July 7.<\/p>\n

\"Halle\"HalleHalle Bae Osborne-Holland just pulled out of the junction without looking right and slammed into a motobike<\/p>\n

Victoria Aked, prosecuting, said: \u201cThe starting point is 26 weeks\u2019 custody; she\u2019s pleaded guilty at the first opportunity; she\u2019s got no previous convictions.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was not looking where she was going and pulled out of a junction and hit a motorbike and the rider and his passenger were thrown over the bike.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms Aked added: \u201cShe passed her test in January 2023, so she had been driving two-and-a-half years at the time of the incident and she was driving a Mercedes; it\u2019s a nice car.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe victims, well, Mr Collins is 22 and Miss Good was 21 and a student; it\u2019s had quite a great impact on her life.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the 4pm time of the crash, Mr Collins, who had five years\u2019 riding experience, and his then partner had full body leathers and crash helmets on.<\/p>\n

Ms Aked read out his victim impact statement in which he remembered travelling towards Swanley when he reached a red light.<\/p>\n

He then slowly progressed to the front of the traffic on his Honda waiting for it to change colour.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI had a bright red bike and at the time it had a loud exhaust. I saw the Mercedes and it pulled out and she didn\u2019t hesitate or stop.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was looking the wrong way, and I saw her pull straight out. There was no indication, and I tried to swerve, but she was looking the wrong way.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe continued out of the junction and then my mind goes blank; I think I passed out. I woke up lying on my back in pain, shouting for help.<\/p>\n

\"Halle\"HalleHalle Bae Osborne-Holland was driving a Mercedes at the time of the smash<\/p>\n

\u201cI could see Rebecca stuck under a white [VW] Polo and her body was contorted; we both went over the handlebars.\u201d<\/p>\n

The court also heard how members of the public managed to lift the car away from Miss Good before she was airlifted to King\u2019s College Hospital, Denmark Hill.<\/p>\n

Mr Collins, who was taken to the same hospital via land ambulance, suffered a serious hematoma in one of his legs, which had filled with blood.<\/p>\n

He had to have two incisions to allow the area to drain, which left him with two open wounds.<\/p>\n

One was closed during another operation about eight days later, but the other was open longer.<\/p>\n

\"Halle\"HalleHalle Bae Osborne-Holland has been banned from driving for a year<\/p>\n

The biker had to undergo a third surgical procedure to close it – he\u2019s been left with a scar from his ankle to his knee.<\/p>\n

In his statement, Mr Collins added: \u201cI had to have a month off work, and I can\u2019t sleep at night.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe confidence I gained in the five years I was riding has been taken away in five seconds. I no longer have a bike and feel a prisoner in my own home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Magistrates were also told Miss Good, who didn\u2019t remember the smash itself, had to have splints on her leg.<\/p>\n

Her recovery had a huge effect on her studies as she had so many hospital appointments to attend, and could only attend online lectures.<\/p>\n

There was no indication, and I tried to swerve, but she was looking the wrong way<\/p>\n

In her victim impact statement, she said: \u201cMy leg is now recovering well, but I have not driven my own car; I can get in my mum\u2019s car.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have had part of my independence taken away from me because I\u2019m not in my own car.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms Aked added: \u201cIt\u2019s obvious [ Osborne-Holland] didn\u2019t take a second to stop when she left the forecourt; [Mr Collins] saw the back of her head. She didn\u2019t think of anyone; they could be dead today.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bench was also told Osborne-Holland had a clean driving licence and the probation service recommended she be punished by way of a community order.<\/p>\n

Matthew Coxall, defending, said his client\u2019s driving had never been dangerous, but that she accepted she should have seen the bike.<\/p>\n

\"Halle\"HalleHalle Bae Osborne-Holland admitted two counts of causing serious injury by careless driving<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cShe looked right and then looked left, but she didn\u2019t look right again, and no one was speeding; she should have stopped at the line.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe car was on finance; she\u2019s not had a parking ticket or a speeding ticket [since she learned how to drive] and she was not on her phone; she just didn\u2019t look properly.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was slow-moving traffic, and she didn\u2019t drive off without a care in the world. She stayed and everything was negative [drug and alcohol tests].<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve seen her three times and she\u2019s always in tears. She\u2019s so remorseful for what she\u2019d done to those people.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s a dental nurse and works in Sevenoaks, and she will have to get there [without a car], and that\u2019s the consequence of not looking properly and she didn\u2019t stop; that\u2019s why it is careless driving.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe loved her car, it was spotless, and a 12-month ban is appropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Magistrates agreed and disqualified Osborne-Holland from driving for a year, also placing her on a 12-month community order, which will involve her carrying out 100 hours of unpaid work.<\/p>\n

She was also ordered to pay a victim surcharge of \u00a3114 and \u00a385 court costs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The shocking moment a Mercedes-driving dental nurse collided with a motorcyclist and his passenger was caught on camera.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":83241,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[21224],"tags":[21234,8160,141,61,1085,661,355,5305,1118],"class_list":["post-83240","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bae","tag-bae","tag-bae-systems","tag-courts","tag-crime","tag-dartford","tag-exclusive","tag-medway","tag-sevenoaks","tag-syndicate"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@UnitedKingdom\/116922180221880786","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83240","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=83240"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83240\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/83241"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=83240"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=83240"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=83240"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
