M6 crash death driver guilty of dangerous driving
A football agent who killed a road worker on the M6 has been found guilty of dangerous driving.
Peter Morrison, 37, had been speeding and sending phone messages before the crash in Cumbria in February 2016, a court heard.
Adam Gibb, from Penrith, died and Paul Holroyd, from Kirkby Stephen, was left paralysed from the chest down.
Morrison, of The Warke in Worsley, Salford, has been warned he faces a "substantial custodial sentence".
He had pleaded guilty to careless driving but denied he was going too fast and said he had stopped using his phone by the time his Mercedes 4x4 hit the men.
Morrison, who is also a former professional player, was travelling at an average of 81mph (130km/h) for 23 miles before the fatal crash, Carlisle Crown Court was told.
In that time he exchanged texts and 25 WhatsApp messages with colleagues and clients, including footballers, it heard.
