prove a truck driver was speeding before a fatal accident on the A75 StranraerDumfries road last March is being challenged at Dumfries Sheriffs court.
William "Jackie" Millar of Lettercreeve, Bally, Ballymena, who was exonerated of any blame for the accident, denies the charge. Evidence was given by forensic scientists and accident investigation officers about the accuracy of the tachograph in Millar's Scania artic belonging to McBurney Bros, of Co Antrim.
Two other truck drivers told the court that they had been travelling in convoy and that they just drove "with the flow of the traffic", before an Austin Mini swerved to the wrong side of the road and collided head on with Millar's vehicle, killing the Mini's driver.
