Speeding driver, 22, who killed young midwife five months before her wedding in 81mph crash was nicknamed 'The Stig'

A motorist who killed a young bride-to-be while speeding on a country road was nicknamed 'The Stig' by friends, a court has heard.
Hannah Seeley was buried in the wedding dress she never had the chance to wear, her father said.
Luke Anderson was apparently driving at 81mph when he smashed into the midwife on a small road near Pakenham in Suffolk.
Miss Seeley's mother Karen and her fiancé Mark Wade went out to look for her after she failed to return home on April 22 last year, and came across the crash site.

Victim: The young midwife was killed while driving home three days after buying her wedding dress

Bury St Edmunds Magistrates' Court heard that the 23-year-old's death came just three days after she bought her dress for the wedding which was scheduled to take place in September.
In an emotional statement, her father revealed that she was buried in the dress and said to the killer driver, 'A wedding dress in a coffin, Luke - a wedding cross in a coffin.'

Anderson, 22, from Barningham in Suffolk, admitted causing death by careless inconsiderate driving, and will appear at Ipswich Crown Court for sentencing.
In yesterday's hearing before magistrates, prosecutor Ian Devine said that Anderson was known as 'The Stig' after the anonymous racing driver who tests cars on motoring show Top Gear.

He described how the motorist's VW Golf strayed into the middle of the road as he rounded a bend on the A143 and smashed into Miss Seeley's car, which was forced into a nearby field.
Anderson's speedometer was frozen at 81mph, which police said indicated he must have been driving at a minimum of 70mph.
The driver later told police he had 'no recollection of the accident'.
Miss Seeley and Mr Wade, 27, who lived together in Stanton, were due to wed on September 15, two years after they became engaged in Paris.
A witness statement from the victim's father Kevin which was read out in court detailed the family's heartbreak at her death.
'On Monday, April 23, 2012, Karen, Hannah's mother, Kirsty, her sister, Mark, her fiancé and myself, visited Hannah in the chapel of rest,' it read.
'Her eyes were half open as if she was waking up. If only that was true, rather than closed for eternity.'

Mr Seeley also described seeing his wife standing outside the undertaker with the wedding dress draped over her arm, preparing to 'dress Hannah for the final time'.

Nickname: Anderson, 22, was known as 'The Stig' by friends because of his love of driving

David Stewart, defending, said Anderson felt 'genuine remorse' and had accepted responsibility for the accident at the earliest opportunity.
Anderson has admitted causing death by careless or inconsiderate driving and was due to be sentenced but the court declined jurisdiction and sent the case to Ipswich Crown Court.
At the time of the accident, Mr Wade said of his fiancée: 'She was my soulmate, my best friend, my world and now it's all gone.'
The couple had already sent out their wedding invitations, and had booked a honeymoon in New York and Las Vegas.
