A YOUNG driver was texting the cheeky monkey emoji to a friend when she crashed, killing a 58-year-old woman, a court has heard.
Gemma Evans, 23, was allegedly “grossly distracted” as she drove her black Mini – veering into the path of another car.
Motorist Diane Price, 58, died of catastrophic injuries at the scene.
Prosecutor Thomas Scapens today told the court Evans had been texting on the morning of December 9, 2016, discussing what to wear on a night out with Kirsty Arrowsmith.
The messages, sent on Facebook and WhatsApp, included messages from Ms Arrowsmith asking: “Hey you, drinking tonight or having a quiet one?”
Evans replied with four heart emojis saying: “Overslept.com” along with a cheeky monkey face and three kisses.”
Ms Scapens told Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court: “Gemma Evans received another message from Kirsty Arrowsmith two minutes and nine seconds before the 999 call was made to report the accident.
“The pattern of the phone activity shows that Gemma Evans was grossly distracted while she was driving her car.
“That is the only logical explanation for the accident – the only reason was the mobile phone.”
He said the phone had been examined, with it found Evans had been using the device up to the point of the collision.
The court was told Evans had been driving to work at 7.30am on Friday 9 December 2016 while Mrs Price was coming the other way after spending the night caring for her elderly father.
The court heard Evans’s Mini suddenly veered across the road on a straight stretch of the A40, near Brecon, Powys.
Other motorists and paramedics gave CPR but Ms Price died of catastrophic injuries at the scene.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
