A DAD has admitted killing his 12-year-old son who was struck by a car while walking on the motorway after a crash.<\/p>\n

Callum Rycroft was hit by a\u00a0Toyota\u00a0C-HR while on the eastbound carriage of the M62 last month.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Police\u00a0believe he was walking on the motorway after an earlier crash involving an Audi\u00a0Q5 he was travelling in on a slip road.<\/p>\n

His dad Matthew Rycroft today pleaded guilty to manslaughter and dangerous driving.<\/p>\n

He also admitted failing to provide a specimen for analysis during the hearing at Leeds Crown Court.<\/p>\n

Rycroft was driving him and Callum in the Audi Q5 from Paddock Cricket<\/span>, Bowling and Athletic Club, Huddersfield, to Hartshead service station on the M62 when the horror unfolded.<\/p>\n

He was remanded into custody ahead of a sentencing date that is yet to be set.<\/p>\n

Police were scrambled to the M62, between junctions 25 and 26, at around 9.50pm on August 5.<\/p>\n

Officers believe Callum was trying to make his way from the central reservation to the hard shoulder when he was hit by the Toyota.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0horror\u00a0followed a separate, single vehicle crash involving the Audi earlier that night.<\/p>\n
