Death crash driver had been drinking


AN 18-YEAR-OLD learner driver who was involved in a night-time accident at Whalley, in which a woman was killed, had himself since died, East Lancashire Coroner Mr George Graham revealed this week.


Mrs Ann Bentley (36),


‘Give local patients priority’ is plea


AN approach is to be made to Blackburn, Hyndburn and Ribble Valley District Health Authority to allow long- stay Clitheroe people in outlying hospitals first chance of a bed in hospital in their home town. This follows discussion


of the plight of the elderly at Tuesday’s meeting of the Ribble Valley Coun­ cil’s Public Works and Health Committee. Council solicitor Mr


Paul Timson said that at the recent Parish Coun­ cils' Liaison Committee meeting it was stated that a number o f elderly Ribble Valley people had to go to Blackburn and Accrington for treatment, although there were beds Clitheroe Hospital oc­


cupied by people from outside the area. Coun. Jimmy Fell,


Ribble Valley Council’s representative on the health authority, said that short-stay medical cases' would have to go outside the area. However, if they were


long-stay patients, they should have first oppor­ tunity of a place in Clitheroe. There was a case of


of Kingsmill Avenue, Whalley, a nurse at Cal­ derstones, was walking on the pavement in Mitton Road with her husband, John, when a mini driven by Mr Stuart Crook mounted the pavement, hit a lamp standard and then struck the couple as they desperately tried to


dodge it. Mrs Bentley died im­


mediately from multiple injuries and her husband, who is also a nurse at the hospital, was thrown quite a distance and seri­ ously hurt. It was stated that Mr


Crook (18), a nurse at the hospital who also lived there, had been driving the car under the supervi­ sion of Mr Ralph Barlow. The Coroner was told


by PC James Brierley that Mr Crook was slight­ ly hurt in the accident, but taken to hospital. When he was given


test three hours after the accident it showed a bjood alcohol level of 63mg in 100ml — 17mg below the maximum. Mr Graham commented


that it was perfectly obvi­ ous that the level would have been higher at the time of the accident. PC Brierley said Mr


Crook Had told him he had been to three pubs and the Calderstones Club and that he had been driving at about 30 mph at the time of the accident when he saw something and swerved. Recording a • verdict of


man being moved from Queen’s Park Hospital to Clitheroe and finding that the man in the next bed came from Danven. Coun. Fell undertook to


raise the matter when he next attended a meeting of the health authority.

STAFF at the Langho Centre have formed an action committee to try and save their jobs. The centre, which has
