The Rush to Beauty: A Fatal Collision
Laila Barnard-Wigley, charged with causing two deaths in a tragic crash, allegedly made multiple attempts to overtake another vehicle as she raced to a beauty salon appointment.
The young woman, driving a Mercedes, aimed to reach the salon by 3:30 pm and in her haste, met with a devastating head-on collision.
At Hull Crown Court, she denies the charges of causing the deaths of Dean Yarrow and Faye Wardle by dangerous or careless driving on May 7, 2021.
The fatal accident occurred as she was driving on the A165 at Scarborough Road, Bridlington.
Barnard-Wigley’s car collided with a Peugeot, leading to the deaths of the driver and the passenger, while a young boy in their car sustained serious injuries.
The Fatal Rush
Allegedly, Barnard-Wigley’s attempts to overtake vehicles became frantic as she aimed to make it to the salon for her appointment.
The prosecution claims her driving was far below the standard of a careful driver, leading to a horrific head-on collision.
Her maneuvers were deemed unsafe, and she allegedly lost control of her vehicle, causing the devastating crash.
A Rushed Appointment
Messages exchanged before the collision indicated Barnard-Wigley’s intent to reach the salon by 3:30 pm, emphasizing her rush to make it there on time.
Despite the rainy weather, she made repeated attempts to overtake vehicles on the road, which ultimately led to the catastrophic collision.
Tragic Consequences
The collision resulted in catastrophic injuries for the victims and injuries to Barnard-Wigley herself, who was taken to the hospital after the incident.
The court proceedings aim to determine the events leading to the fatal crash and the circumstances surrounding Barnard-Wigley’s urgency to reach her beauty salon appointment.
The trial, expected to last around seven days, continues as the court seeks to uncover the full details surrounding this tragic incident.
