Christopher Devine suffered fatal injuries following the horror collision

A SPEEDING driver who was on a phone call at the time mowed down a man he claimed had"jumped" out in front of him.

The accounts manager was found to have more than 10 times the prescribed limit of a drug called Benzoylecgonine - a"metabolite from cocaine usage" - following a blood test.Smith, of Dumbarton, will be sentenced in the New Year. Prosecutor Gavin Anderson KC said:"At the time, Smith was engaged in a 'hands-free' Bluetooth telephone call with an insurance company."

"Benzoylecgonine is an inert by-product of cocaine use and would not have had an effect on Smith's demeanour."
