A lorry driver who killed an elderly motorist and badly injured his wife in a catastrophic head-on collision was today jailed for four years.
Garry Tierney drove onto the wrong side of the road before crashing into the car driven by Matthew Donnell who was accompanied by his wife Edith on October 7, 2020. Tierney's defence counsel David Nicolson told the High Court in Edinburgh : "He accepts that he drove his vehicle into the oncoming carriageway and did so for a number of seconds.
"Even to this present day he does not know how that came to pass."
