Family of Scottish gran killed onboard bus slam decision not to give driver jail time

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

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

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