Slap on the wrist for pavement cyclist that mowed down pedestrian

A CYCLIST who smashed into a woman on the pavement, causing
life-threatening head injuries, has avoided jail.

Jason Hurrell, 23, of Mansell Close, Leigh, was sentenced to four months
in jail, suspended for eighteen months, on Friday after crashing into
Olivia George on the pavement of Marine Parade, Southend.

Miss George had to undergo several operations and spent several weeks in
hospital after the crash, which happened earlier this year

I hope his fridge freezer insurance was up to date, she deserves plenty
of compo.
