Paramedic downed 10 pints of Guinness before killing 'doting dad' in horror crash

A paramedic who drank 10 pints of Guinness before mowing into a cyclist at 60mph en route to a house party has been jailed for causing his death.

Ignoring his wife's pleas to drive to the booze-fuelled bash seven miles away, 36-year-old Robert Woodruff, who was off-duty at the time, was at least twice the drink-drive limit.

His Nissan Juke smashed into 56-year-old cyclist Richard Goodwin, whilst he was cycling home along the A1033 in East Yorkshire, killing him immediately, Hull Live reports.
