Wife killed after losing control of mobility scooter and plunging into river

An elderly woman was killed when her mobility scooter crashed into a river.
Police were alerted after the 69-year-old victim’s red scooter was spotted by a passer-by in the River Brain in Witham, Essex, on Friday night.
Officers tried in vain to revive the unconscious woman after dragging her from the water.

A 69-year-old woman was riding her red mobility scooter, similar to this one, when she plunged to her death in the River Brain
It is understood she had been shopping in the town centre and was on her way home using the popular short-cut through the beauty spot.
Police were last night trying to establish how she apparently lost control of the battery-powered invalidity scooter, which has a top speed of 8mph, and plunged off the path into the 6ft-deep river.
The tarmac path, which runs past an historic former mill house, is used by joggers and dog-walkers and is a popular place for families.
The accident happened in the dark, but police say the path is partly lit by streetlights from a nearby road.
Relatives were last night comforting the husband of the dead woman, who has not been named.
