It was a collision waiting to happen, jurors at the trial of Andrew Cairns - a dangerous driver who killed a ‘kind and caring’ school girl in a fatal collision - were told.
The court heard that if Cairns had been following the speed limit then Ruby Cropper, 11, from Radcliffe, would still ‘in all probability’ be alive today.
Ruby’s heartbroken family listened in shock and horror from the back of the courtroom throughout the course of a five-day trial as jurors heard countless pieces of evidence into Cairns’ driving in the moments prior to the collision.
