AN OBAN mother of three who was cleared of killing her partner in a car crash on the A85 near Connel in August 2013 has been told she will have to pay his grieving family damages after a second court ruled she failed to prove her negligence did not cause the accident.
Veteran Vincent Kennedy, 32, died after Veronica MacKenzie collided with another vehicle in the accident which also claimed the life of an elderly woman from Fort William who was a passenger in the other car.
MacKenzie, 36, was cleared of causing Mr Kennedy and Mary Gillies’ death by careless driving following a trial in 2015.
