Ms Daell’s friend, Megan Darling, who is 20 weeks pregnant was also hit.

The 22-year-old driver stopped further up the road and returned to help.

4. Russia banned from Paralympic Games in Rio.

Russia has been banned from taking part in the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio.

The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) said they had “no option” but to take action following the Russian state doping scandal.

IPC President Sir Philip Craven said it was an “unprecedented attack on every clean athlete who competes in sport.”

He said the anti-doping system in Russia is “broken, corrupted and entirely compromised”.

“The Paralympic Movement is one giant family and I had hoped that something like this would never rear its ugly head.

“Everything we have observed goes against the very spirit of sport and everything the Paralympic Movement stands for.”

The  decision is in sharp contrast to the one taken by the International Olympic Committee earlier this month who, opted to allow individual sporting bodies to decide whether Russian athletes could compete.
