The motorist had earlier told the police that “there was nothing dangerous” about his driving at time of fatal crash, and he “didn’t think he hit a cyclist” despite driving a damaged car with a smashed windscreen for five miles
A drink and drugs driver has been jailed for 13 years for killing a cyclist in a hit-and-run crash in West Yorkshire in 2019, with the police saying that his driving was"erratic" and finding"alcohol, cocaine, and cannabis" in his system when they made the arrest, however the driver had claimed that"he didn't think he hit a cyclist" and there was"nothing dangerous" about his driving.
Marsh blew two positive alcohol breathalyser tests at the police station, while blood samples showed he was over the limit for THC, the constituent of cannabis, and the metabolite of cocaine. "He was wearing reflective clothing and had lights on his bike and backpack and had taken all sensible precautions that we would expect a cyclist to take when travelling at night.
In recorded police interviews, which were played to the jury during the trial last week, Marsh had described his version of events.
