A hit-and-run driver who ran down and killed a cyclist while chatting on
his phone and ignoring one-way signs has been jailed for eight years.

Reuben Richardson, 38, accelerated and carried on driving after striking
51-year-old IT worker Antonio Marchesini, dragging the victim and his
bike along the road before ditching his Mercedes and running away.

Victim: Antonio Marchesini volunteered in orphanages for the Red Cross
and taught foreign languages to disadvantaged teenagers

Anyone who proceeds the wrong way down a one-way street, causes a
collision and then flees is rather more than a "bloody idiot".

What is a "safety patrol cyclist"?

I give up.


Probably a wise decision.

I don't suppose anyone else knows either.
