A super fit milkman who was weeks away from retirement was killed when a speeding learner driver who was on his phone knocked him off his bike.
Roger Parris, 63, was on his way to start his 1am shift when he was hit from behind by Ravi Singh-Ratthore who had been following the driver of a BMW at speeds of up to 58mph.
The grandfather, who had been wearing reflective clothes and a helmet as he cycled along the road, was rushed to Royal Salford Hospital, but died an hour later of his injuries on December 20 2021. Singh-Ratthore, 22, initially carried on driving but returned to the scene in his VW Golf DT Sport.
