Hilda Lumsden-Gill found guilty

THE chairwoman of Huntly Community Council has been convicted of dangerous driving.

A jury returned a majority verdict in the case against Hilda Lumsden-Gill at Aberdeen Sheriff Court.

The 59-year-old had knocked down two women on Bogie Street in Huntly in May 2014.

However, she had lodged a special defence that she had suffered a "complex partial seizure" at the time and was in a state of automatism.

Sentence has been deferred by Sheriff William Summers until August.
