Woman killed 'kind and caring' motorcyclist after 'failing to notice him' while turning at traffic lights

A woman who killed a "kind and caring" motorcyclist after she "failed to notice him" while turning at traffic lights has been spared jail.

Leonard Royle, 70, died at the scene after Shayma Ahmed's Vauxhall Astra smashed into him "head-on" while he was riding along Manchester Road in Wilmslow. Mr Royle, who was known as 'Len' to friends as family, was heading in the opposite direction and was "clearly visible" at the time, police said.

At Chester Crown Court today (Tuesday), Ahmed, of Darras Road, Gorton, avoided jail as she was handed a suspended prison sentence.
