By Richard James.

A mother-of-two has admitted to causing the death of an 11-year-old boy by dangerous driving.

Hannah Saaf, 27, struck Sam Riddall after her car mounted the pavement and ran into him as he walked home from a church youth service on May 1st.

The 11-year-old died as a result of the incident.

Saaf, from Bristol, is said to have fled the scene shortly after the accident, resulting in a police search.

Sam's parents then issued a public appeal for her to turn herself in and she was eventually found over a week later in Pensford near Bristol.

The 27-year-old appeared at Bristol crown court on Tuesday to plead guilty to death by dangerous driving.

Sentencing has been adjourned until November 27th.
