A LORRY driver who killed a student as she cycled to university in Glasgow has been sentenced.
He had admitted to driving an HGV without due care and attention or without reasonable consideration for other persons using the road.
Mr Reid added:"He's been a professional driver for nearly 40 years. He’s held a car licence for even longer. This is the first time he’s been involved in any road traffic matter.It was heard that the older-style HGVs, which Mowat was driving at the time, are currently being phased out and replaced with more modern vehicles where the driver's seat is positioned lower."He admitted he did not see Emma.
Emma's heartbroken parents Rose and John watched the last moments of their daughter's life when several clips of CCTV and dashcam footage were played in courtRose said:"It's our parental duty to be there because it is the last few months of our daughter’s life. We knew it would be tough, but I have to say, since the accident, we've just mentally been having scenes go around in our heads.The court previously heard that Emma had placed herself in a vulnerable position.
999 operators were called, and a member of the public prevented any more traffic from entering the area until police arrived.After specialist treatment, she was rushed to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, where she was sadly pronounced dead at 11.25am.
