With the police charging her for drinking driving and causing the death of Billy Mayhew in the Corriedale crash, Debbie awaits her verdict (and spoilers… it’s not a good outcome). But, all of this could’ve been avoided if the police had only taken into account three huge details that put Debbie in the clear. Becky and John were to blame (Credit: ITV) 1. Didn’t cause the crash Right, so let’s just remember who initiated the Corriedale crash in the first place. Becky Swain was desperate to flee the country and was startled by Carla’s phone call. Distracted, she crashed the car into Aaron and John Sugden’s car. John had crashed the car so that Aaron wouldn’t shoot him. So, Becky and John caused the crash. The minibus then crashed into the vehicles ahead thanks to Carla and Kit. And, Debbie and Carl’s car had the crashed into the minibus instead of swerving. Drunk or not, this would’ve been pretty unavoidable. So, why is Debbie getting the blame? Article Continues Below Read all the latest Spoilers One fan took to Reddit and wrote: “Confused about Debbie getting the blame. Debbie (well Carl) didn’t cause the Corriedale crash, John off Emmerdale did. Emmerdale has acknowledged this so…what exactly is happening with Debbie and why is the old bill going after her at all? She didn’t even get the minibus to overturn, that was Carla (who seems to not care at all). Carl/Debbie were one of the last cars to crash and it only occurred as a result of the earlier crashes.” 2. No fingerprints on wheel etc… Despite Carl Webster’s best efforts to frame Debbie by slipping her unconscious body into the driving seat, the evidence to prove this wasn’t there. Why? Because she wasn’t driving. Her fingerprints weren’t on the steering wheel, and a simple forensic exam would’ve therefore shutdown Debbie’s story of being responsible. On the Reddit thread, another fan added: “And it was a crash with a fatality. The police would collect forensic evidence from the steering wheel and airbags.” The evidence does not stack up against Debbie (Credit: ITV) 3. No driving injuries Another observant fan has found a third piece of evidence that would immediately pop Debbie in the clear of the crime. With both Debbie and Carl Webster being taken to hospital for medical exams after the crash, it would’ve been obvious that Carl had injuries from his seatbelt in the direction of the driving seat and Debbie didn’t. One person noted: “I don’t understand how the seatbelt marks weren’t documented at the hospital. With a crash like that wouldn’t she have been examined to make sure she’s okay, no broken bones etc? “Wouldn’t that have raised alarms about her being the supposed driver when the belt marks weren’t correct?” Read more: Coronation Street fan theory predicts Todd will murder Theo – and George will help him dispose of body Share Add as a preferred source on Google Good to Know Share Add as a preferred source on Google By Tamzin Meyer 5 Feb 2026, 16:02 By Tamzin Meyer 5 Feb 2026, 16:02 Next Story
