Driver 'blacked out' before crashing into pub smoking area A MAN who has admitted causing a musician's death by careless driving may have blacked out in the moments leading up to the crash, a court heard. Bandile Xozumti, 41, was behind the wheel of his Nissan Qashqai when it left the road and struck the smoking area of the Spinnaker pub, in Hythe Quay, Colchester. Stuart McClung, 36, a popular and talented musician, was pronounced dead at the scene, while three others received serious injuries. Appearing at Chelmsford Crown Court yesterday, Xozumti, of Waterside Lane, Colchester, admitted causing death by careless driving.
