A GRANDDAD died after a sports car ploughed into his motorbike throwing him across a carriageway.

Iain Wyatt, 43, was struck almost head-on by Peter Dunnachie's Audi A4 at a roundabout near Glasgow's Baillieston on May 30, 2020.

The police forensic nurse had attempted to avoid collision by leaning on his side creating scuff marks from his trainers on the road.

Witnesses saw Wyatt "wobble" before a loud bang was heard with Mr Wyatt then found lying on the road.

The granddad-of-three's injuries included a bleed to the brain and a fractured spine.

He was declared dead at the scene by medics.

Dunnachie, 54, of Rutherglen, pleaded guilty today to causing death by careless driving.

Glasgow Sheriff Court heard Mr Wyatt was on a Honda motorbike at the roundabout near the M73 when Dunnachie entered from a slip road.

Prosecutor Lauren Staunton said: "Mr Wyatt reacted to the presence of the motor vehicle emerging from the junction, causing him to break heavily, creating locked wheel tyre marks on the road.

"The heavy breaking of the motorbike caused the bike to lean extensively to its near side resulting in scuff marks from Mr Wyatt's trainers.

"The motorbike then collided with the front offside of the motor vehicle resulting in scuff and tyre marks.

"The motorbike slid on its offside across the road surface trailed by Mr Wyatt, creating various scratches and gouge marks on the road.

"Mr Wyatt was thrown from his motorbike across the carriageway.

"The motorbike struck the raised kerb of the roundabout and came to a rest."

Witnesses saw the motorbike "wobble" before hearing a "loud bang."

One witness noted that Mr Wyatt was "making avoidance moves" and noticed that his left foot was down.

Mr Wyatt was then seen on the ground alongside his motorbike.

He was tended to at the scene by a first aider who reported that Mr Wyatt was "struggling to breathe."

Medics later arrived but Mr Wyatt was pronounced dead at the scene.

A post-mortem stated that the cause of death was "multiple injuries and road traffic collision (motorcyclist).

It was noted that the "extensive severe injuries consistent with death were caused by a road traffic collision where the deceased was thrown to the ground."

Mr Wyatt's main injuries were to the head, chest, abdomen and pelvis.

There was also evidence of bleeding to the brain as well as fractures to ribs, spine, pelvis, collapsed lungs as well as wounds to the spleen and liver.

Dunnachie meantime was "in shock not making much sense" before identifying himself as the driver to police.

He later gave a no comment interview.

Miss Staunton said: "Collision investigators state that Dunnachie failed to look property to observe the motorbike.

"He entered the roundabout when it was unsafe to do so directly into the path of the motorbike.

"The inattention of Dunnachie has resulted in the death of Mr Wyatt."

Brian Conney, defending, told the court that Dunnachie offers his "profound apologies" to Mr Wyatt's family.

The lawyer added: "The incident has effected him badly - it keeps him up at night and he is deeply sorry for what happened."

It was revealed that Dunnachie currently has three penalty points on his licence.

Sentence was deferred pending background reports until next month by Sheriff Joseph Platt who granted Dunnachie bail meantime.
