A YOUNG woman has been found guilty of causing death by dangerous driving of a 77-year-old man in Langley.
David Anderson died in a crash after his blue Nissan Micra was hit by Renisha Sekhon’s grey Volkswagen Golf on Parlaunt Road in Langley, Slough on July 26, 2021.
His vehicle spun over the central verge onto the other side of the carriageway before hitting a Toyota Prius parked on the road.

The pair were both taken to hospital, but Mr Anderson died as a result of his serious injuries.
Sekhon, 24, was found guilty of causing death by dangerous driving after a trial at Reading Crown Court.
The court heard that the incident occurred at about 10.34pm and Sekhon, who was 22 years old at the time, was travelling 70mph before the collision.
Her speed was between 41mph and 47mph at the time of the collision, which was an agreed fact between the prosecution and the defence.
When asked why she was driving at 70mph into the 30mph speed zone, she told the jury she ‘does not recall’.
