Family tribute for 10 year old Evey, who tragically died this weekend after being involved in Friday's road traffic incident near Newport. Our deepest sympathies with Evey's family and friends and our best wishes for a quick recovery for her parents, Neal and Penny.
Police hope that the driver of a Red Ford Fiesta may be able to help in relation to Friday's fatal collision. Police stress they do not believe the driver is any way involved with the collision.
Robert Blakely was today sentenced to ten years after pleading guilty to causing the death of Evey Staley whilst driving under the influence of alcohol.
Ten year old Evey tragically died after her family’s car was hit by a driver who was two-and-a-half times over the drink/drive limit and had been smoking cannabis. Her story will be explored through a series of videos released by the police over the next few weeks.
The Staley family agree for the crashed car their daughter lost her life in to go on display around the Isle of Wight and Hampshire as a warning to drink drivers.
Police say that more intelligence-led targeting of drink drivers will be carried out in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight this year after the number of those arrested for drink/driving stayed virtually static.
