A van driver has been found not guilty of causing the death of a pensioner by careless driving.
Paul Eskandari admitted careless driving after going through a red light in Newcastle, which he thought was on green. His Mercedes Sprinter hit a VW Polo driven by Robert Addison, who died ten days later.
Now jurors at Newcastle Crown Court have found Eskandari was not responsible for the death of Mr Addison, who was in his 70s, following a trial.
