Family’s fury as granddad, 78, suffers heart attack during driving awareness course
A GRANDDAD who suffered a heart attack during a driving awareness course was threatened with a fine and prosecution while left in a coma.
David Williams, 78, from Southmead, Bristol, attended the course last month after running a red light.
However during the course he lost consciousness and suffered a heart attack - going on to have a ten-hour open-heart surgery that left him in an induced coma.
One week later course organisers and cops sent letters to the family home, saying he must pay a fine or face prosecution as a result of not completing the course.
Granddaughter Amanda Lewis explained what happened, however authorities did not accept it.
Amanda told The Bristol Post: “The doctors said he had a tear in his aorta vein, and he was about to die. They had to revive him several times during the surgery.
“I think it’s just appalling. He attended the course - he just didn’t complete it because he had a heart attack. Surely they understand that?”
The letter read: “Failure to meet the Fixed Penalty requirements will result in your case being processed for a court hearing, for which you would receive a summons in due course.
“Please note that any mitigating circumstances can only be considered by the court.”
Even after providing a sick note from the doctor, cops told Amanda it was not enough.
It was only when the family spoke out about their ordeal that cops apologised.
A spokesman for Avon and Somerset Constabulary said: “We were sorry to hear that Mr Williams fell unwell during a speed awareness course.

“We have spoken with his family and have made arrangements to resolve their concerns.
“We wish him a swift recovery.”
