A van driver has admitted causing the death of a rugby coach in a crash in Eltham.
Brian Rayner, 57, was killed in a crash on Rochester Way on the morning of March 2, 2022.
Last Wednesday (July 31) Christopher Challen, 37, of High Street in Sittingbourne, appeared at Bromley Magistrates’ Court.
He admitted causing Brian’s death by driving careless or inconsiderate driving.
Challen will be sentenced at the Old Bailey on a date yet to be fixed.
At the time of his death Kent Online reported that Brian was a “well-respected and loved rugby coach and player” at Gravesend Rugby Football Club.
His son Aaron, told Kent Online: “He was a family man first and was always helping anyone he could. There is a lot I could say about him."
The collision took place at around 6.30am and Brian was pronounced dead at the scene at 7.16am.
