In a shocking incident at an ASDA in Wallsend, North Tyneside, a mum-of-five named Roxanne Dale drove over a security guard’s foot, leaving her with a broken ankle. The altercation took place back in February, and footage of the incident showed Dale ramming another car during a road rage episode.
The 36-year-old Dale was on her way to pick up her son when the chaos unfolded. The security guard, who was trying to de-escalate the situation, was knocked down and had her foot run over by Dale as she fled the scene. As a result, the security guard suffered serious injuries and required surgery to treat her broken ankle.
Dale was sentenced to three years and three months in jail for causing serious injury by dangerous driving, dangerous driving, and failing to stop after an accident. She was also banned from driving for three years upon her release from custody. In court, the victim shared the impact the incident had on her life, mentioning the physical, emotional, and mental toll it had taken on her.
During the hearing, Dale’s lawyer explained that she had received a panicked call from her son before the incident, which led her to rush to the ASDA car park. She did not intend to cause harm to anyone but accepts responsibility for her actions and expressed remorse for the harm caused.
Dale, who has five children, has been in custody since her arrest and does not plan to return to her previous area of residence. The incident has had a profound impact on both the victim and Dale, highlighting the consequences of dangerous driving and road rage.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of remaining calm and composed while driving, especially in tense situations. It also underscores the need for drivers to prioritize safety and respect on the roads to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future. Let this be a cautionary tale for all drivers to prioritize safety and avoid engaging in reckless behavior behind the wheel.
