Man admits killing partner after falling asleep at the wheel

A 32-year-old woman was killed in a crash after her partner fell asleep at the wheel, a court has heard.

Rebecca Tasker was in the back seat of her car, being driven by 30-year-old Edward Carty on the A90 near Errol, Perth and Kinross, when the incident happened.

Disqualified driver Carty veered off the road, sending the vehicle down an embankment before striking two trees.

Carty will be sentenced at the High Court in Edinburgh in August.

He admitted causing Ms Tasker’s death by dangerous driving.

The court was told members of the public were able to pull two children from the car, who were unharmed.

Carty’s friend also escaped without injury but Ms Tasker was pronounced dead at the scene.

She suffered two spinal injuries, a severe neck injury and blunt force trauma to several ribs.
