causing serious injury by careless driving

The "impatient" driver was overtaking a stalled vehicle at traffic lights in Blackburn, pulling into the opposite lane and hitting a cyclist described as "very fortunate not to have died"

The driver denied any collision with the cyclist who had his shoulder blade broken and sustained irreparable damages to his £6000 bike, but a witness claimed otherwise, saying that the driver kept saying “I did not see him” after the collision

The cyclist suffered multiple fractures and other injuries, and died nine months after he was hit by the driver who already had six previous convictions for 16 offences

"I just want to put a spotlight on the fact there are a lot of cyclists on the roads and drivers have to be aware"
