The driver of the lorry which killed cyclist Eilidh Cairns has been fined £200 for defective eyesight, after prosecutors decided there was insufficient evidence to press charges for either a “dangerous” or a “careless” driving offence. Driver Joao Lopes was also ordered to pay £150 costs and a £15 surcharge and received 3 points on his licence. He was allowed to resume driving, using glasses.

A cyclist who was killed in a collision with a car in Hindhead did not have any lights on his bike, an inquest heard on Tuesday.

A fashion student knocked down and killed by a double-decker bus was swept up under its wheels “like a cardboard box”, a court heard.

Cyclist Angela Scott was hit by a drink driver as she cycled home from work. She was pregnant at the time.
