Police charge motorist in connection with Simon Richardson hit-and-run
"South Wales Police have charged a 60-year-old man in connection with the hit-and-run incident near Bridgend last August that left Paralympic champion cyclist Simon Richardson fighting for his life in hospital. The motorist, who is from Cowbridge in the Vale of Glamorgan, has been charged with dangerous driving, drink-driving and failing to stop after an accident, reports the BBC, and is due to appear before Barry Magistrates next Wednesday, 7 December. Richardson won of two gold medals and one silver medal at the Paralympic Games in Beijing in 2008, a performance that led to him receiving the MBE. He is continuing his recovery at home after being released from hospital for the injuries he sustained in the incident, when he was struck by a white van on the A48 near Bridgend. The 44-year-old has received a huge outpouring of support from the cycling community following the incident, which came ten years after he had been left with no feeling down his left-hand side after being hit by a car while on a club run, which resulted in him entering Paralympian sport." http://road.cc/content/news/48431-po...on-hit-and-run -- Simon Mason |
