A man has been found guilty of knocking down a pensioner and killing him on a pedestrian crossing as he accelerated through a junction.

Abdelkader Dhrif, 70, died from his injuries after the collision on the A580 East Lancashire Road in Worsley, Salford. Mr Dhrif, from Boothstown in Salford, was 'within the confines' of the pedestrian crossing at the road's junction with Ellenbrook Road and Newearth Road, but the traffic light crossing signals were on 'red for pedestrians and green for motorists', Manchester Crown Court heard.

Jurors found Ben Trigger, 30, of Merton Grove, Astley, Wigan, guilty of causing his death by dangerous driving after two hours of deliberations.

Trigger will be sentenced later in the year. READ MORE: Mum 'thought she'd die' as savage ex-boyfriend stamped on her head during walk in the park with her young daughter Peter Cadwallader, prosecuting, said the collision happened at around 3.30pm on November 20, 2019.
