A 74-year-old from Killyleagh has been jailed after causing the death of a cyclist and seriously injuring another
Aidan Fitzpatrick, 59, worked for the Equality Commission and was described as "a true gentleman"
McGrillen, of Catherine Street, Killyleagh, "ploughed into" 59-year-old Aidan Fitzpatrick, on Sunday, October 20 2019, causing "unbearable pain for his widow and family," said Judge Geoffrey Miller KC. McGrillen later claimed the cyclists were at fault, telling police they were "too wide on the road... were not riding in single file... I went to go around them and they bumped on top of my car".
Mr Murphy told the court: "Had he made a disclosure about his medical condition prior to the accident, we say it is reasonable to conclude that his licence would have been revoked.
