The family of an 82-year-old Scots gran killed onboard a bus when the driver slammed on the brakes have hit out after he dodged jail.

Mum-of-three Elizabeth Colville was "catapulted" from her seat and suffered fatal head and back injuries after her body collided with the driver's compartment on board a bus being driven by Michael Gillespie.

Gillespie, 35, was ordered to carry out 234 hours of unpaid work and banned from driving for three years last week after pleading guilty to causing her death in April 2019.
