Overview
- Laila Barnard-Wigley pleaded guilty at Hull Crown Court to two counts of causing death by careless driving in connection with a head-on collision near Bridlington.
- Dean Yarrow and Faye Wardle died at the scene on the A165 near the Grindale Road junction, and their two-year-old son was seriously injured but survived.
- The judge adjourned sentencing to January, granted Barnard-Wigley unconditional bail, and ordered a pre-sentence report with all sentencing options to be considered.
- A 2023 trial ended without verdicts and the jury was directed to return not-guilty verdicts on dangerous-driving counts before the case moved toward the current pleas.
- Court reporting described evidence that her Mercedes veered across the wet road, apparently aquaplaned, and that she had been rushing to a beauty salon after multiple overtaking attempts.
