A man has pleaded guilty to causing death by careless driving, in a crash in which 52-year-old Stacey Steer sadly lost her life while travelling as a pillion passenger, Avon and Somerset Police have confirmed.
Sean Coates, of Alcove Road, Bristol, was jailed for more than six months yesterday (December 19) at Taunton Crown Court, after they heard how he pulled out to overtake a slow-moving vehicle and failed to see the motorcycle had already started overtaking the traffic in front of them both at Holford on the A39 in Somerset.
Coates had then pulled out in an effort to overtake and collided with the motorbike, knocking both riders - Mrs Steer and her husband, Carl - off the bike.
