Pregnant learner driver weeps in court as she and accomplice found GUILTY of killing 21-year-old in horror crash

Two learner drivers have been found guilty of killing a 21-year-old woman in a horror smash in Wales.

Jago Clarke and Emma Price were seen driving dangerously in the moments before Clarke smashed his white Ford Ka into the path of another car. The smash killed Ella Smith, a passenger in Clarke's car, and seriously injured a passenger in the oncoming vehicle.

However, on Wednesday, jurors returned guilty verdicts for both defendants - as a pregnant Price wept in the dock.
