A driver killed a grandmother in a “catastrophic” crash at a notorious accident blackspot in Argyll.
Christopher Taylor ploughed head on into the car of Yvonne Shann after he tried to overtake another driver.
Yvonne had to be cut free from her Citroen – but never recovered from her injuries and died more than a week later in hospital.
The tragedy occurred on the rural A816 Lochgilphead to Oban road on December 30 2015.
Taylor had a young child in his Peugeot at the time.
The 30 year-old now faces jail after he was found guilty of causing the death by careless driving.
Taylor, of Rothesay, Isle of Bute, will learn his fate next month.
The High Court in Glasgow heard how the crash happened at night on the “twisty and windy” road.
Jurors heard that a driver in front of Taylor “knew something was going to happen” when he went to overtake him.
This motorist feared the worst and “held his steering wheel a lot tighter” as Taylor smashed into Yvonne’s car.
The court was told the crash happened in a “split second” and that “the noise was terrible”.
It was also heard that Yvonne – who lived in Oban – could have done “nothing” to avoid being hit.
The mum of three died on January 11 at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley, Renfrewshire.
Taylor – who stayed in Ardrishaig, Argyll at the time – accepted being responsible for the accident.
In her closing speech to the jury, prosecutor Jane Farquharson said what happened had been a “catastrophic error” on Taylor’s part.
She added he had not been a “careful and competent” motorist that night.
Taylor had gone on trial accused of causing death by dangerous driving before being convicted of the reduced charge.
Taylor will be sentenced on February 7 in Livingston.
Lord Beckett continued bail and banned him from the road meantime.
