A 55-year-old man has been re-arrested on suspicion of further driving offences after an Orpington grandmother died in a crash.

Olive Stevens, 88, was knocked over by a man, who was helping her to reverse her car along a road blocked by fly-tipped rubbish on November 6, last year.

The Croydon man was originally arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury through dangerous driving.

After answering bail on Tuesday (March 31), he was further arrested on suspicion of causing death through careless driving, causing death driving not in accordance with a licence and causing death whilst uninsured to drive.

He has been bailed again until mid-May.

Mrs Stevens, the mum of well-known actor Michael Fenton Stevens and two other sons, had been driving along Skeet Hill Lane, Chelsfield and had to stop due to a refuse truck clearing the rubbish.

A man climbed out of the lorry and offered to assist Mrs Stevens reversing her Silver Nissan Micra back along the lane.

Mrs Stevens suffered a serious head injury when the car collided with her.

She died in hospital later that day.

Last month, News Shopper reported on residents calling for a crackdown on fly-tippers dumping rubbish on Skeet Hill Lane and the surrounding roads.
