A 23-year-old man has admitted killing his best friend in a drunken car crash.

Frank Yeung was giving Richard Waddington a lift into Oxford on the A4074 near Sandford on December 4 when they crashed.

Yeung, of Titup Hall Drive, Wood Farm, Oxford, was found to have 108mg of alcohol in 100ml of blood, above the legal limit of 80mg.

At Oxford Crown Court today, he admitted causing death by careless driving while over the prescribed limit, but Judge Patrick Eccles ordered a further hearing, at a date to be fixed, to determine the level of his culpability.
