Truck Driver Jailed for Death of Girl, 6, as She Stepped Off Bus
Stephen Worden was jailed for 12 months and banned from driving for two years after causing the death of six-year-old Millie Joy Gribble by careless driving.
- On December 9, Preston Crown Court sentenced Stephen Worden, 61, to 12 months in prison and banned him from driving for two years.
- The collision on the A6 Garstang Road involved the white Iveco flat-bed truck striking a stationary double-decker before mounting a grass verge and hitting three children; Millie died six days later.
- Following a trial at Preston Crown Court in October, Stephen Worden pleaded guilty to causing death by careless driving and two counts of causing serious injury by careless driving.
- Lancashire Police noted `Millie’s death has had and continues to have a profound impact on her family`, as Joseph Gribble wrote, `Millie was my heartbeat, my world, my reason to improve my life in every way`.
- Beyond sentencing, authorities emphasised road safety and the dangers of careless driving as two other children—a now-16-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl—were also seriously injured.
