Peterborough Crown Court heard lorry driver Danny Warby opened a text message on his phone exactly one minute and six seconds before a crash in which an off-duty policewoman was killed.

Det Con Sharon Garrett, 48, died after her Renault Clio landed on its side in a ditch off the A141 near Wyton in June 2014.  

The precise time of the crash was established by tracking data from the lorry, the court was told.

The jury heard Mr Warby's lorry crossed the white line in the centre of the road and clipped an oncoming lorry, showering two cars in debris, before crashing into Mrs Garrett's car, which was also in the oncoming line of traffic.

Prosecutor Helen Guest said there was "no hands-free kit or cradle for the phone in the lorry" and despite taking evasive action, Mrs Garrett was "unable to prevent a collision".

Mr Warby, 28, of Runcton Holme, King's Lynn, denies one count of causing death by dangerous driving. 

The trial continues.

A bit more on now on the Brexit vote's impact on local farmers.

John Shrophire employs 2,500 people from eastern Europe in the high season and doesn't think Brexit will change the labour supply.

"We've had access since long before we joined the EU to people from eastern Europe. There was a seasonal agricultural workers scheme that was brought in in 1948. We need foreign workers to come," he told the BBC.

His company is huge - G's Fresh, based near Chatteris, has a turnover of £420m-a-year, employing 6,000 people worldwide.

As well as growing salad produce in the Fens, he owns farms growing lettuce in Spain, spring onions in Senegal, beetroot in the US and celery in Poland.

His concern is retaining access to the European single market. "In 1992 we embraced the single market - we had a proper bonfire of regulations. We really need access to the single market. If we lose that efficiency we are going to hammer the economy," he said.

A Cambridge scientist says the uncertainty created by the Brexit vote is causing problems.

She told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire 70% of her funding comes from the EU.

"There's a very long lead time to apply for funding... it's not clear what we should be doing at the moment," she said. 

Since the EU referendum, Prof Smith has decided to step down from leading a research collaboration with scientists on the continent, which will now be led by a colleague in France instead.

Former South Cambs MP Andrew Lansley, who heads the Cambridgeshire Development Forum, says he is talking to members of the government about the best Brexit deal for Cambridge.
