A much loved taxi driver was killed in a crash after a delivery van strayed into his lane.
Philip Roberts, 62, died when a white Peugeot van moved into the opposite lane and crashed into his blue Skoda. The van was being driven by David Richards, 30, from Kirkby, who pleaded guilty on Thursday, August 19, to causing death by careless driving at Caernarfon Magistrates Court.
The crash happened on the A494 at Brithdir in North Wales on May 6 last year, North Wales Live reports. Richards told a probation officer it may have been a "lapse in concentration". The former Stagecoach driver had been driving for three hours and 40 minutes and should have had a break, the court heard.
