A WHITE van man has been found guilty of careless driving after mowing down three children and their grandmother.
Charles Perrie, 55, from Alva, Clackmannanshire, lost control of his van and mounted the pavement, smashing into the family as they walked to school.
Pensioner Sarah Montgomery was left with countless breaks in her leg while youngest grandchild Emma, three, was rushed to hospital after the crash in Blackridge, West Lothian.
During a lengthy trial Perrie consistently denied the charge against him, claiming black ice on the road had been to blame. But yesterday at Linlithgow Sheriff Court, Sheriff William Muirhead found him guilty and fined him £300.
He was also given eight penalty points, bringing the total of penalty points on his licence to 12.
