A man in Lancashire is jailed after he hits and kills a pedestrian as she crosses a road, and he immediately contacts emergency services, according to reports. The incident happens in Bamber Bridge on Tramway Lane.
Multiple accounts describe the victim as Himabindu Yadla, known as “Bindu,” who is struck while walking across the road. The driver is identified as Jake Bolton, 36, who is travelling home from a traffic maintenance job when the crash occurs. Reporting also says Bolton calls 999 at the time and later appears in court.
Outlets link the case to drug use. Coverage states that Bolton has taken cannabis edibles and that this is central to the allegations and findings. The focus across reports is the fatality, the driver’s immediate call for help, and the court outcome, though details of sentencing length and specific evidence are not fully consistent in the excerpts provided.
