A PENSIONER who knocked over and killed a pedestrian in Jaywick has been found guilty of causing death by careless driving.

Alan Baker, 74, of Brooklands, Jaywick, had denied being responsible for the death of Terrance Watson, 55, in July 2013 but was convicted by a jury at Chelmsford Crown Court this afternoon.

Baker claimed he had been blinded by the sun when the accident happened.

He will be sentenced next month.
