Much-loved... Shona McKinlay

Rory Nimmo, 26, and John Clark, 43, raced on the A70 near Ayr in the early hours of October 28, 2022.

Nimmo was behind the wheel of his souped-up Audi TT when he lost control and smashed into a Renault Kangoo van driven by 46-year-old Shona McKinlay.

The mum, of Dreghorn, Ayrshire, was left so badly hurt she did not survive the smash.

Nimmo and Clark each denied a charge of causing death by dangerous driving.

Trucker Clark even claimed he was a victim of “mistaken identity” and had not been involved in the crash.

But the duo were yesterday found guilty following the trial at the High Court in Glasgow.

They were remanded in custody and face a lengthy jail term when they are sentenced in the New Year.
