Man Pleads Guilty Causing Death, Injury in Derbyshire E-Bike Chase

Alana Armstrong, a 25-year-old mother, died after being deliberately rammed multiple times by a 4x4 driven by Keaton Muldoon during a chase on a rural Derbyshire road. Muldoon, a 23-year-old drug dealer, pursued Armstrong and her boyfriend Jordan Newton-Kay, who was also seriously injured and later had his right leg amputated. The incident, which occurred on Batley Lane in Pleasley, involved Muldoon using his Land Rover to try to knock the couple off their electric motorbike over a distance of more than a mile. Armstrong was thrown off the bike and sustained catastrophic injuries that were unsurvivable, leading to her death at the scene. Muldoon has pleaded guilty to causing death and serious injury by dangerous driving but denies murder charges. The prosecution highlighted Muldoon's intent and the severity of the attack, noting he was heard expressing regret that he was only meant to knock them off the bike, not cause fatal harm.
