Mariola Martin's family said she was "loved deeply"

A man whose lorry hit a broken down car in Wiltshire, killing a woman, has admitted causing her death by careless driving.

Mariola Martin had stopped in the inside lane of the A303 Mere Bypass, when Paul Bradley's articulated lorry struck her Mazda MX-5 from behind.

Ms Martin, 53, who lived in Swindon, died at the crash scene in July 2014.

Bradley, 53, from Cullompton, Devon, will be sentenced next month after appearing at Salisbury Crown Court.

After her death, Polish-born Ms Martin's family paid tribute to her in a statement, saying she was "a vibrant and energetic woman that loved life".

Bradley was released on bail until sentencing.
