Ronald Dowling, who admitted causing the death of a woman and seriously injuring two others by careless driving, is being sentenced on Tuesday afternoon at Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court.
At a previous hearing, Dowling entered a guilty plea at Newport Crown Court to causing the death of Sharon Berry by careless driving, in that he drove a vehicle without due care and attention.
Guilty pleas to three charges
The 66-year-old also pleaded guilty to a count of causing serious injury to Kim Dowling by careless driving on the same day. He admitted a further count of causing serious injury to Jane Beedell by careless driving.
All offences took place along the A4042 New Inn, Pontypool on October 26, 2023.
