Lorry driver who caused tragic Stirling cyclist's death spared jail after widow's mercy appeal

The widow of a cyclist who died after being hit by a HGV in a tragic road accident on a Highland Stirling road appealed to a court to show mercy to the truck driver.

Retired teacher Neil Smith, of Cambuskenneth, was killed while out cycling with his son on the A85 ‘Road to the Isles’ on August 23, 2021, near Portnellan outside Crianlarich.

They had cycled from Stirling that day and planned to get the train back to the city from there.
