A taxi driver who shunted the back of a classic sports car so hard it ‘folded like a penknife’ and killed the driver is facing jail.
Kugannesan Balasubramaniam had ploughed his Peugeot van into the back of the 1963 MGB convertible roadster at 48mph on the A40 Westway in London.
The court heard the 31-year-old had become ‘frustrated’ while driving in traffic shortly before the crash.
Teacher Nick Sennett, who had only hired the classic car for a few days, suffered serious head injuries as his car was shunted forward violently in the four-car crash.
Paramedics spent an hour trying to save the 58-year-old, who taught economics at Latymer Upper School in Hammersmith, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Balasubramaniam had claimed the vintage car had pulled out in front of him suddenly.
But jurors unanimously found the taxi driver guilty of causing death by careless driving, an alternative to the original count of causing death by dangerous driving.
Speaking after Mr Sennett’s death chef Heston Blumenthal, who attended the £15,700-a-year school, had said: ‘What made Nick stand out was his very calm, playful banter. He was one of those teachers you could be very comfortable around. He was really lovable, really funny, chilled out.’
Judge Jeffrey Pegden QC told Balasubramaniam: ‘You will be sentenced at this court for causing death by careless driving on the 15 January next year.
‘You should understand that the law makes it clear that a custodial sentence is likely but as you are a man of previous good character I order a pre-sentence report for that day.’
The minicab driver had just collected a sixth-form student from Heathrow Airport and was taking her to an address in northwest London, Southwark Crown Court heard.
