A drink driver who killed a Kilmarnock pensioner on holiday just months after getting his licence back has been jailed for almost 11 years.
Martin Jolly got behind the wheel of his Vauxhall Astra despite having downed beer during a trip to the beach with a friend.
The 27 year-old went too fast and lost control of his motor at a bend on the A710 near Barnbarroch, Dumfries and Galloway.

Mrs McCallum never survived the horror smash on May 23, 2019. Her devastated husband was also left hurt.
Jolly already had four previous convictions for careless driving.
He had latterly been hit with a 14-month ban from the road which expired on February 11, 2019 - just three months before the fatal collision.
Jolly was today/yesterday jailed for 10 years and eight months at the High Court in Glasgow.

Lord Clark told Jolly: "The information before me includes victim impact statements from Mr McCallum and other family members.
"What they have said in their dignified and harrowing personal accounts explains the acutely distressing effect on the family.

On the day of the crime, Jolly had picked up a friend, stopped off to buy a 12-pack of Corona beer before heading to Sandyhills Beach in Dumfries and Galloway.
Prosecutor Chris Macintosh: "During the journey. he was driving at speeds between 80 to 90mph on roads with a 60mph limit.
