A cyclist's been jailed for killing a woman while riding on the pavement in Monmouthshire.
Stewart McGinn knocked down 79 year-old Elizabeth Stone in Monmouth last June.
She suffered a head injury and died 4 days later.
A judge sentenced the 29 year-old to 12 months in prison, after hearing he failed to stop to help the victim.
Ryan Randall, of the Crown Prosecution Service, said: “The way in which McGinn rode his bike around the corner was completely irresponsible.
“His disregard for the safety of others using the pavement proved to be disastrous and is a stark reminder that pedal cycles can be dangerous to other road users when ridden so recklessly.
“Our thoughts are with those who have suffered the tragic loss of Ms Stone.”
