A woman has been found guilty of killing a cyclist after using her mobile phone while driving.
Julie Watson, 36, deleted a record of the call after she hit Alistair Speed on the A91, near Gateside in Fife, in September 2013.
The mother-of-two was found guilty of causing the death of Mr Speed, 49, from Glenrothes, by driving dangerously.
His sister, Mhairi Laffoley, said the effect of the incident on her family had been "horrendous".
She told the court: "My parents died within 12 weeks of the accident."
Ms Laffoley said her brother was "a very, very competent cyclist".
"He was very steady. He didn't take risks," she said.
