Two elderly sisters were tragically killed after being run over by a car outside a pub.

It was a terrifying and tragic sight that unfolded in front of the pub, as a man lost control of his car and struck down two elderly sisters who were simply walking by. The shocking footage captured disqualified driver Nicholas Adams reversing at a high speed and crashing into the two women, aged 76 and 82, outside The Dovecote in West Bromwich.

Adams and two others had pulled up in a Vauxhall Insignia at around 12:30pm on October 15th last year. After a minor collision, Adams made the reckless decision to get behind the wheel and move the vehicle. The CCTV and bodycam footage from PC Glenn Brabham, a member of the West Midlands Police’s firearms unit, captured the entire incident and the moments that followed.

In the video, we can see Adams sitting in the front seat with his right leg hanging out of the open door. He slowly begins to move the car before suddenly accelerating backwards and crashing into the two innocent women. They were trapped under the car for several minutes, with life-threatening injuries. It was a horrifying scene that left the victims in critical condition.

The two sisters, who have chosen to remain anonymous, were seriously injured and had to spend weeks in the hospital recovering. One of them suffered from multiple serious fractures and spent 10 weeks in the hospital, while the other was there for six weeks. It was a traumatic experience for both of them, but they are grateful to the emergency services and PC Brabham for their quick and courageous actions.

Adams was arrested at the scene and later charged with two counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving. He was sentenced to three years and 11 months in jail and was also disqualified from driving for two years. The two sisters released a joint statement thanking everyone who helped them on that day and during their recovery. They specifically mentioned PC Brabham for playing a crucial role in getting them out from under the car.

PC Brabham, who was awarded for bravery, was one of the first officers on the scene and bravely maneuvered himself under the Vauxhall to rescue the trapped women. He expressed his happiness for their recovery and extended his best wishes to them. He also acknowledged the hard work and dedication of all the emergency services.

The police commended PC Brabham for his selfless and courageous actions that ultimately saved the lives of the two women. They also stressed the importance of road safety and taking action against those who choose to drive dangerously. Unfortunately, incidents like these are not uncommon, as seen in the case of a dad-of-two who was killed in a feud between two families and a man who was deliberately run over while riding an electric bike.

In recognition of his bravery, PC Brabham was named the overall winner of the West Midlands Police Federation Bravery Awards. His bravery and selflessness serve as an inspiration to all of us and a reminder of the incredible work done by our emergency services every day. The two sisters and their families are forever grateful for the quick thinking and heroic actions of PC Brabham and everyone involved in their rescue.
