A diabetic driver who killed a mum in a horror head on crash has been jailed for more than four years. David Day was spotted repeatedly drifting across lanes sparking one concerned motorist to immediately dial 999.
The 54 year-old eventually swerved onto the wrong side of the A75 near Eastriggs, Dumfries-shire, hitting Esme Henderson in her car. Esme, 55, never recovered having suffered a fatal neck injury following the smash on August 5, 2020.
Day, of Dalskairth, Dumfries, had been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2016. But, it emerged "concerns" were later raised by medics about how he managed his condition. An expert called to complete a report on Day suggested "on balance of probabilities" he had been suffering from low blood sugar levels at the time of the crash.
