A van driver who killed a cyclist after failing to see him on the road, despite the 54-year-old riding with two rear lights, has been handed a suspended 10-month prison sentence. Graham Nash was riding his bike on a single carriageway section of the A65 Settle bypass in Craven, North Yorkshire on 6 August 2024, when he was struck from behind by van driver Robert Wade. Other motorists using the road at the time told North Yorkshire Police that they had seen the cyclist, but Wade informed officers that he had “no idea how he hadn’t seen him”. Following the crash, Wade stopped and attempted to perform CPR on Mr Nash, who had suffered “catastrophic” injuries. According to prosecutor Jeremy Barton, the cyclist was unconscious and in a state of cardiac arrest when paramedics arrived.
