A man has been told he will likely be jailed after he pleaded guilty to causing the death of a 13-year-old boy by careless driving.
Kayn Galer was behind the wheel of a Vauxhall Corsa when he struck Gregg Lewis McGuire, who was riding a pedal bike on Silverstone Road, in Washington, Sunderland. The youngster, described by his heartbroken family as "a cheeky boy who lived life to the fullest", was taken to hospital but sadly died two days later.
Galer, of Pinewood Avenue, Harraton, Washington, had previously pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, relating to events after the fatal collision, however, the 20-year-old has now also admitted causing death by careless driving, driving with no insurance and failing to stop after an accident.
