A cyclist who crashed into a pedestrian who later died of her injuries
has been jailed.
Elizabeth Stone, known to friends as Jane, was walking along the
pavement in Monmouth with a friend in June last year when she was hit.
Stewart McGinn, 29, rode his bike on the pavement and around a corner at speed, running into Mrs Stone head on.
The force of the impact knocked the 79-year-old to the ground and caused
a serious head injury.
McGinn did not stop and rode away.
Emergency services attended the scene of the crash and Mrs Stone was
taken to hospital. However the injuries she had sustained proved to be
fatal.
McGinn pleaded guilty to causing bodily harm by wanton or furious
driving and was sentenced at Cardiff Crown Court on 14 July to one year
in jail - the maximum sentence being two years. He was also banned from driving for two-and-a-half years.

Yet, in a case where a cyclist killed herself in similar case, an
innocent pedestrian she put in fear of her life was jailed.
