A drug driver who killed a mother crossing the road after taking cannabis edibles told a 999 operator: ‘I’ve just run somebody over.’
Jake Bolton, 36, was travelling home from his traffic maintenance job when he hit Himabindu Yadla – known as Bindu – as she crossed Tramway Lane in Bamber Bridge, Lancashire.
Bolton had twice the legal limit of cannabis in his blood after consuming edibles the weekend before and also tested positive for cocaine.

Ms Yadla, 37, was thrown into the air
