Lukas Akins (36 years old), from Mansfield Towncaused a fatal accident three years ago, and the court now sent after the bars.
The tragic accident occurred on March 17, 2022. Daniel, the victim of the accident, crossed a bicycle in the city of Netherton (near Birmingham), when Akins hit a car, a Mercedes G350, while turning to the right.
Lukas Akins claims he didn't see the bicyclist he was injured
Akins, whose car were his seven -year -old daughter and his boy who was seven months ago, told the trial that he did not see Daniel.
Prosecutor Carmel Pearson, in turn, reported that “Adrian Daniel wore a chamber mounted on the helmet and he recorded. From the filming you can see how the defendant fired the steering wheel and hit Daniel. It was too late for Daniel to brake, suffered a terrible injury.”
Half of the penalty received by Lukas Akins is suspended
The victim was admitted to a hospital, but it was not survived by the wounds suffered and died 10 days later, on March 27, 2022. The court of the court: 14 months in prison for Lukas Akins, half with suspension. Also, the defendant was suspended the driving license for a period of 2 years.
Daniel's widow, Savanna, gave up the medical assistant service after her husband's fatal accident because, traumatized by her death in the hospital, she was no longer able to enter a clinic.
The victim's wife has no feelings of revenge
Despite the tragedy she lived, she has no feelings of revenge against the Mansfield Town player, but says: “His wife and children should not live the life we are living now.”
Akins's lawyer, Tim Pole, defended his client: “The fact that he caused the death of Mr. Adrian Daniel continues to dominate his thoughts and is a burden he will carry for the rest of his life. His regret is authentic, and his thoughts and his family go to the family of Mr. Daniel.”
