David Cooper was caught on his own dashcam not stopping at a junction on September 13, 2023.

The 31-year-old ploughed into a Mercedes driven by Stephen Painter with his wife Louise a passenger.

The car flipped on to its roof following the smash on the A93 near Meikleour, Perthshire.

The couple had been returning to their home in Oxfordshire at the time having enjoyed a break in Scotland.

But, despite desperate attempts to save him, Mr Painter, 69, never recovered.
