A driver has admitted causing the death of a taxi passenger in a crash in Leicester nearly two years ago.

Donna Brighton, 60, died when the taxi she was in collided with a silver Vauxhall Astra in Glenfield Road just before 20:30 BST on 16 September 2023. Two other passengers in the taxi were seriously injured.

Thomas Goulty, 35, the Vauxhall driver, admitted one count of causing death by careless driving and two counts of causing serious injury by careless driving at Leicester Crown Court on Monday.

Sarwar Mohammad, 68, who the court heard was driving a Peugeot Expert Tepee, denied causing death by dangerous driving and also denied two counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.

A provisional trial date for Mr Mohammad, of Willow Brook Road in Leicester, was set for 30 November next year.

Goulty, of Aikman Avenue, Leicester, will likely be sentenced at the end of the trial, the court was told.

The pair were bailed ahead of a further hearing on 30 January.
