A carer has avoided jail after falling asleep at the wheel and crashing his car, killing his elderly mother in the passenger seat.
Mark Harrison stood before the judge beside a packed public gallery where his four brothers and extended family watched on, following his mother's tragic death.
The courtroom heard how the now-53-year-old had been driving through country lanes with his 90-year-old mother Olive Harrison when he hit a BMW head-on, leading to the discovery that he had drifted onto the wrong side of the road.
