Two years of denial over smash that took Kai’s life
Wreckless killer Natasha Scott caused a family pain by denying she was to blame for her boyfriend’s death for nearly two years.
She was just 19 when her lunatic driving cost Kai Milligan his life.
Scott put the foot down and literally flew over a hill crest on the 60mph High Maybole road.
Kai was in the back seat and died within moments of being smashed in the face by a fence post.
The former Carrick Academy pupil was described by friends as “amazing” and someone who “always managed to put a smile on everyone’s face”.
Killer Scott is now likely to be locked up for causing his death and badly injuring three other youngsters in the smash.
Her Vauxhall Corsa ploughed into a fence, brick wall and telegraph pole before coming to a halt near Blairston Mains road close to Alloway two years ago next month.
Kai, 21, of Miller Terrace, Maybole, was killed and his pal, a 15-year-old boy, received “massive facial” injuries and needed major surgery.
Scott, now 21, has only recently admitted causing death by dangerous driving and injuring the other passengers as she appeared at the High Court in Glasgow. She is from Maybole but quit town to live in Oakwood Avenue in Ayr’s Dalmilling.
After killing Kai she quickly moved on to another partner and got back behind the wheel.
And six months ago she gave birth to a baby boy.
Scott sobbed heavily as the judge warned her she is likely to be locked up when sentenced next month.
Prosecutor Duncan McPhie said Scott “increased her speed” and – at a hill crest – the car then became “airborne” before she lost control.
The court heard the Corsa started to “fishtail” and she failed to regain control.
Mr McPhie said: “Mr Milligan – seated behind the driver – sustained fatal injuries as a fence post passed through a side rear window striking him in the face.”
The 15 year-old boy was hit in a similar way. Scott, a 17-year-old girl and a 12-year-old boy managed to clamber free.
This victim – a young pal of the couple – still suffers to this day.
Mr McPhie: “He required major surgical intervention to help reconstruct the bones.”
He has been left permanently scarred and has since been affected by “mood swings” and “increased aggression”.
He also has a lack of feeling in his face and issues with his sense of taste.
The 12 year-old was treated for head and leg injuries while the 17 year-old girl had pain in her back and stomach.
Scott, also of Maybole, hurt her shoulder and neck but had hardly a scratch.
Crash investigators were not able to calculate exactly how fast Scott was going on but said it was “excessive”.
The court heard Scott made no comment when quizzed but did become “upset”.
Barry Smith, defending, said Scott wanted to pass on her “sincere condolences” to relatives of the victims.
Lady Stacey banned her from the road meantime, telling her: “Your dangerous driving that day took a man’s life causing havoc to his family.
“It also caused injury to other people some of which may be long lasting.”
