At around 10.55pm on 5 May last year, a white Ford Transit Connect van, being driven by Garrett, hit Chris Redfern, aged 52, his wife, Cristina Di Carlo, aged 54, and Jeremy Rowson, aged 63, outside the French Horn restaurant on the B478.

Garrett failed to stop at the scene of the collision but police officers quickly identified the vehicle involved in the collision and arrested Garrett later that night.

Cristina sustained a serious head injury and had to remain in hospital for over eight months, while both men both suffered serious injuries.

Adam Garrett, aged 26, of Loddon Bridge Road, Wokingham, was sentenced to four years in prison at Reading Crown Court on 10 April 2024.
