Wilson Lau
A motorist has admitted causing the death of a young film maker by driving carelessly on the A40.
David Portch, of Kilnwood in Walter’s Ash, Bucks, appeared at Oxford Crown Court this afternoon on what was due to be the first day of his trial.
The 29-year-old was accused of causing the death of Wilson Lau by dangerous driving on the A40 on December 3, 2013.
But today he entered a plea to the lesser offence and this was accepted by the Crown Prosecution Service.
Scooter rider Mr Lau, 24, of Kidlington, died of his injuries at John Radcliffe Hospital two days after the collision between Minster Lovell and Witney.
Portch was released on bail and will be sentenced on January 16 this year.
