A woman has been found guilty of causing death by careless driving after she killed a two-year-old girl in a supermarket car park.

Hoden Aden, 44, told police she thought she had struck a shopping trolley after she hit Fahima Hassan, who was in the car park at Asda in Forty Lane, Wembley with her mother.

Aden, from Wembley, was found guilty of causing death by careless driving yesterday after a four-day trial at Harrow Crown Court.

She was bailed to appear at the same court for sentencing on Monday, September 12.

The court heard how Fahima, of Kingsbury, and her mother had just left the store at about 8.20pm on September 11, 2014.

Aden, who was driving a Volkswagen Tiguan, hit Fahima as she and her mother were in the road near a zebra style crossing point.

Despite the best efforts of emergency services, who rushed to the scene, Fahima died in hospital later the same day.

Aden was interviewed twice under caution in September and December 2014, before she was summonsed to appear at Hendon Magistrates' Court on December 23, 2015.
