Wonders shall never end!!! Mr Smith 38, was on a charity cycling ride when he was crushed by a car near Whitstable, The father of three who was cycling for charity was killed by a drunk teenage girl just moments before he crossed the finish line of a race.
Mackie, who was driving a blue Peugeot 206, was arrested at the scene and admitted causing death by dangerous driving and being at the wheel with excess alcohol in her system when she appeared at Canterbury Crown Court yesterday.
Bethany Mackie, 18, right, from Herne Bay, Kent, was warned that she faces a prison sentence after admitting causing the death by dangerous driving while drunk of Christian Smith, left, on March 22.
Mackie was released on bail until sentencing next month at Canterbury Crown Court, however, Judge Adele Williams warned the teenager that a custodial sentence is 'inevitable'.
Since Mr Smith’s death, more than £82,000 has been donated to mental health charity Mind on his JustGiving page – breaking his original target of £1,000 by more than 8,000 per cent.
On his page, Mr Smith, from Boughton Aluph in Kent, spoke of his own mental health problems.
He wrote: ‘I have had my own misfortune to suffer from a spate of poor mental health, which was unexpected and has been a real “game changer” in how I now view the future.
‘It has been a tough road to get to this point but I have been fortunate enough to have the support of my family and friends.'
After proper investigation, they found that.........
‘Mackie will have to live with the consequences of her actions for the rest of her life. Her breath contained 73 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, more than twice the limit.
