HGV driver given 100 hours unpaid work after cyclist death

Today Emma's parents said more needs to be done to make Scotland's roads safer

A lorry driver has been ordered to carry out 100 hours of unpaid work for causing the death of a cyclist in Glasgow.

Emma Burke Newman was killed after being involved in a collision with Paul Mowat’s HGV at a set of traffic lights on the city’s Broomielaw in January last year.

The sentencing comes just days after a 56-year-old cyclist was run over and killed in Bearsden
