The prosecutor said McGrillen had 'drove through the cyclists without making any attempt to avoid them''
A Co Down pensioner who drove his car into two cyclists, killing one and seriously injuring another, was today given a five year sentence.
The pensioner also drove his black Mercedes C-Class into Ralph Mills, leaving him in "constant pain, with survivors’ guilt and a joyless outlook on life''. The prosecutor said McGrillen had "drove through the cyclists without making any attempt to avoid them''. McGrillen had initially denied the charges but in May this year entered guilty pleas to causing the death of Mr Fitzpatrick by dangerous driving, and causing grievous bodily injury to Mr Mills.
In a statement to police, Mr Mills said he and Mr Fitzpatrick were cycling "side by side''and didn't see the Mercedes car approaching before it struck them from behind.
