The tragedy took place on December 10, 1998, when Basden tried to overtake in morning rush- hour traffic on Somerset Road.

Her sister Racquel was a pillion passenger on her scooter and suffered massive internal injuries when the bike collided with a truck travelling in the same direction.

Puisne Judge Norma Wade-Miller ordered a social inquiry report and adjourned sentencing to June 9.
