Gavin Aitken admitted the charge of causing death by dangerous driving at the High Court in Glasgow today.
Gavin Aitken, 49, was behind the wheel of a company car when he ploughed into a motorbike on which Liam Scott was riding pillion.
The crash occurred on the A82 near Auchenheglish Lodges in Balloch, West Dunbartonshire on August 31, 2020. Aitken was a driver for Garelochhead Coaches at the time. Prosecutor Louise Beattie then told the court: "At 5.11pm, Aitken received an incoming phone call from his wife. It forwarded to voicemail. Aitken accepts that he was distracted by the phone call.
Aitken, his wife and others - including a nurse and two off duty doctors - raced out to help. Liam was rushed to hospital in Glasgow and was found to have a significant brain injury.
