Man jailed for dangerous driving causing death of boy

A father, whose young son was killed while out cycling after a driver failed to stop at a pedestrian crossing controlled by a red light, has said that he will never get over the "violence of the impact" of the collision between the vehicle and the bike.

That's a very tough read. That poor family. Worst nightmare and must relive daily. Depressing.

Big proliferation of those Rangers around the place. They're massive and serious HP in them would think

He killed a child, screw him and his business. Any good deeds he has behind him stand for nothing compared to what he did on that day.

Wow, what an attitude, have you ever had an accident?

It's not like he did it on purpose FFS

A terrible case. Sentance too short IMO. He should also have a lifetime driving ban.



But but but...cyclists.

But but but entitled and angry cyclists you mean.

Did he kill the child on purpose, no.
Did he drive thru a red light and kill a child, yes.
That is a very soft sentence

Did he drive through the red light on purpose?

Did he drive through the red light on purpose?

No idea, but he certainly ignored it.
And a child died because of his callous actions
He should have got the maximum sentence

So by suggesting he ignored it, are you saying he saw it and duly ignored it?

Did he drive through the red light on purpose?

Yeah, he did actually. Unless the vehicle was out of his control.

You stupid bollox.

If you are paying attention whilst driving then how can you possibly drive through a red light by mistake?

Either he chose to ignore the light and drive through anyway, or he was distracted by something he shouldn’t have been and drove through. Both of those scenarios are his fault and it has resulted in him killing a child

Rest In Peace to the young boy.
