A British backpacker has pleaded guilty after fatally crashing into a father-of-two while riding an e-scooter under the influence of alcohol in Australia.

Alicia Kemp, from Redditch, Worcestershire, appeared in Perth Magistrates' Court via video link from prison on Monday, charged with dangerous driving causing death under the influence of alcohol.

Another charge of causing harm to a passenger while under the influence of alcohol was dropped.

The charge of dangerous driving causing death carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.

The 25-year-old was over the Australian legal limit when she crashed into Thanh Phan, 51, while riding through Perth's city centre on May 31.
