A 96-year-old driver killed a man as he crossed the road after refusing to give up driving despite suffering from deteriorating vision.
William Beer was suffering with bilateral cataracts and wet macular degeneration when he hit Illtyd Morgan, 84, in Caerphilly on April 6, 2021. Mr Morgan was declared dead at the scene after being run down by the driver's Peugeot 208.
Beer had been advised by an optician in March 2019 to give up driving, but the defendant renewed his licence after his wife was diagnosed with dementia, Wales Online reports.
