'Wrong side' driver killed ex-pat in France

A Bognor Regis builder has been convicted of causing the death of an English expatriate in a car crash while driving on the wrong side of a country road in France.

A Citroen van driven on the left-hand side by James Lee (33) collided head-on with Erik Williams' car travelling in the opposite direction in Taillebois on March 1 last year.

Lee received a five-month suspended jail term last night after being convicted in his absence at a court in Argentan of involuntary homicide in a road accident and driving on the wrong side of the road.
