Driver's harrowing confession after killing 'beloved' father in horror car crash

A driver has revealed a harrowing confession after killing a beloved father in a fatal car crash. Nicholas Sweeney,33, had taken his step-dad's car without permission despite not being insured in the car and only having a provisional driver's license.

The father-of-four ran then ran through a set of lights that were changing from green to amber earlier this year in January. Wayne Heath,56, was out on his motorbike driving home from work and also skipped past the light change on Ashton Road in Greater Manchester.

Sweeney then collided into Heath and sent him 'flying into the air' and when he landed he did so with fatal injuries. A passer-by who rushed to the victims aid stated Heath said he 'couldn't breathe', reports Manchester Evening News.
