A one-time mobile windscreen repair man failed to stop his van in time to avoid hitting two girls at a pedestrian crossing in Perth.
Scott Whyte ran into the girls at a crossing on the A85 Perth to Crieff road near Huntingtower Road as he was returning home from a call-out last year, Perth Sheriff Court was told last Wednesday.
Fiscal depute Elizabeth Hodgson said the girls, who were both aged 13 at the time of the incident, activated traffic lights at the crossing before they set off to the other side but Whyte did not notice the red stopping signal until it was too late.
