Pensioner, 93, died after being run over by daughter while putting her bins out
A PENSIONER died after she was run over by her daughter while putting the bins out, an inquest heard.
Doreen Breen, 93, walked past the garage with her rubbish when Hazel Smith reversed her Audi A3 out and knocked her to the ground.
Ms Smith, who Doreen was staying with for a few days in May, insisted she did check her mirrors but failed to see her mum.
She added that she stopped when she heard the collision on her driveway in Eckington, Derbyshire.
Ms Breen was conscious and talking afterwards but died two days later of a brain injury and other injuries, Chesterfield Coroner's Court heard.
Derbyshire Police investigated the death but ruled there was not enough evidence for a criminal investigation.
