A 21-year-old woman, Rosie Hanson, is sentenced after striking and killing a pedestrian while she was on a pizza delivery run. Multiple outlets report that Hanson was driving a VW Golf in Sheerness, Kent, in January 2024 when she hit 27-year-old Ryan Phillips. One report says her vehicle was travelling at around 60mph as she headed to deliver pizza. All accounts describe the crash as occurring while she was delivering food.
Regarding the court outcome, the sources agree Hanson avoids immediate jail. The Daily Mail and Daily Record report she receives a 16-month prison term suspended for two years, allowing her to remain free while subject to the suspension terms. The Mirror similarly describes her as narrowly avoiding jail and indicates she walks free after the sentence.
Together, the reporting indicates that the case turns on the combination of speeding—reported at about 60mph—and the fact that the driving occurred during a delivery trip, resulting in the pedestrian’s death.
