Football bus crash trial told brakes worked

-

An expert has told the trial of a bus driver accused of killing a football fan in a crash there were no defects in the vehicle’s brakes.

Robert Handley, an enforcemen­t officer with the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency, gave evidence at the trial of Callum Phillips, who denies killing Ryan Baird by dangerous driving on the way to a Rangers match in October 2016.

He was driving the Nith Valley Rangers supporters bus to a match against Partick Thistle when it crashed at Crossroads roundabout near Kilmarnock.
