A WOMAN accused of driving through a red light and causing a death crash that killed a motorcyclist told jurors the collision was not her fault.

Amanda Day is currently on trial at Oxford Crown Court accused of one count of causing death by careless driving.

Prosecutors claim that she caused a crash at the Milton Interchange which led to the death of Billy Elbrow, 20, from Abingdon, on the night of August 23 last year.

The 52-year-old of Westmead, Princes Risborough, denies the charge and driving through a red light and told jurors today the light was green.

As her trial continued Day took to the witness box to give her version of events and deny any wrongdoing.

The Ministry of Defence senior employee told jurors that on the day of the collision she was travelling from her Princes Risborough home towards Wantage.

Asked if she was under any ‘pressure of time’ ahead of her journey she said: “None at all, I left in plenty of time to get there.”

She said she arrived at the Milton Interchange roundabout with the intention of joining the road in the direction of Wantage.

The jury heard that Day missed her exit and then continued around the roundabout once, travelling underneath the A34.

She explained: “I decided to go around [the roundabout] again because I would have cut somebody up if I had changed lanes suddenly.”

Day was asked about the collision which happened moments later at the roundabout and she said she would have been driving ‘about 25 mph.’

Recalling the crash she said: “I braked, I didn’t do an emergency brake but I braked quite hard and brought the car to a stop.

“I got out the car and ran over to the motorcyclist to see if he was alright, and he quite clearly was not and I thought ‘what should I do?’

“So I thought the best thing would be to phone for an ambulance.”

Day told jurors she then went back to her car to call for help but that another member of the public had already called the emergency services.

Asked about the colour of the traffic light at her junction she told jurors the light was green and she said of her driving: “I was driving very carefully.”

During cross examination Day was asked if her case was that the accident was Mr Elbrow’s fault, to which she answered: “I don’t believe it was my fault.”

It was then put to her that she in fact went through a red traffic light.

She replied: “No, I have never knowingly gone through a red light.”

Day was also asked if she heard the motorcyclist, to which she answered she did not.

Asked if she was sure the music in her car was not that loud she said 'absolutely sure.'

The trial continues.
