Driver guilty of causing three deaths in A90 smash STV

A driver has been found guilty of causing the death of three passengers in a crash between a car and bus.

Marin Rachev, 35, was attempting to cross the A90 in Aberdeenshire last March when his Renault collided with a Citylink double-decker.

His passengers Dimitar Georgiev, 32, Zaharina Hristova, 37, and Silyan Stefanov, 42, all from Bulgaria, were killed.

Rachev, also a Bulgarian national, was convicted of causing death by careless driving on Monday following a trial at the High Court in Aberdeen.

The jury took three hours to return a majority verdict.

Rachev was remanded in custody and will be sentenced at a later date.
