The driver of a bus which ran over an Oxford University student was distracted by an off-duty colleague chatting to him, a court was told today.
Oxford Bus Company driver Paul Willis appeared at Wantage Magistrates' Court charged with careless driving and speaking to someone while the vehicle was in motion, following the death of Emilie Harris. He denies the charge.
His colleague Henry Stuart denies breaching public service regulations by speaking to a driver while a vehicle was in motion.
