A lorry driver jailed for the tragic death of a Buchlyvie mum-of-four on a rural road has had an appeal against his sentence refused.
Ian Moorhouse, of Clackmannan, was jailed for 12 months in March this year after pleading guilty to causing the death of Amanda Boag by driving without due care and attention on February 25, 2020. He was also banned from the road for 46 months.
But lawyers acting for Moorhouse, 63, argued that a direct alternative to custody was available. They said that while it was accepted that the offence was very serious, a custodial sentence was considered “excessive and inappropriate”.
