A drink driver has admitted killing a mum as she returned from her son's wedding in New Cumnock.
 
Steven Bennie ploughed into a taxi that tragic Mary Laurie had just stepped into.
 
Bennie had been chased by police in Glasgow's east-end after trying to speed away from them because he did not have a licence.
 
The 57 year-old mum never recovered from her injuries after being thrown out a window.
 
Bennie is now behind bars after he admitted at the High Court in Glasgow to causing Mrs Laurie's death by dangerous driving.
 
The mum and her husband James Laurie had seen her son Martin Colquhoun tie the knot at the Lochside House Hotel on November 28 last year.
 
Prosecutor Tim Niven Smith said “at some point” Bennie downed alcohol.

He later drove to a McDonalds restaurant before eating food with a friend at an industrial estate in the city's Baillieston.
 
He was ordered to pull over as police activated the blue lights and sounded the sirens.
 
Bennie went on to speed through a red light and had to dodge other cars.
 
The fatal crash occurred at a junction between Edinburgh Road and Springboig Road in the city's east end.
 
Mr and Mrs Laurie got in a cab shortly before Bennie approached the scene.
 
The couple were not wearing seatbelts with Mr Laurie initially standing up trying to place his wife's flowers on a seat.
 
Mr Niven Smith then explained: “Just as the taxi turned into Edinburgh Road, Bennie's vehicle came across the junction through the red light and collided with the taxi.”
 
The cab spun and smashed into a pole. Mrs Laurie was hurled through a window.
 
Mrs Laurie was initially conscious, but, minutes later, officers could not detect a pulse.
 
Bennie, of the city's Shettleston, also pled guilty today to drink driving and having no insurance.
 
Judge Lord Boyd deferred sentencing for reports until next month.
