Cyclist sentenced following fatal collision in Poole
By Dorset Eye - 24th November 2022

A cyclist has been sentenced at court for his involvement in a fatal
collision in Poole.

Garry Kopanycia-Reynolds, aged 59 and of Poole, appeared at Poole
Magistrates’ Court on Thursday 24 November 2022, where he was found guilty
following a trial of a charge of riding a cycle on a road without
reasonable consideration for others.

He received the maximum fine of £2,500 as well as being ordered to pay £450
costs and a victim surcharge of £190.

The charge related to a collision that occurred at around 7.15am on Tuesday
21 December 2021 on Ringwood Road, at the junction with Fernside Road.

The motorcyclist – 23-year-old Callum Clements – was travelling through the
junction toward Danecourt Road when he was involved in a collision with the
defendant’s bicycle, which was turning from Ringwood Road into Fernside
Road.

The collision resulted in the motorcyclist being thrown from his vehicle
and he sustained serious injuries. Very sadly, he was pronounced dead at
the scene.

Kopanycia-Reynolds also sustained serious injuries and was taken to
hospital for treatment.

Police Constable Leanne Howes, of Dorset Police’s Serious Collision
Investigation Team (SCIT), said: “This is a very sad case that has seen
Callum’s family lose their loved one and the cyclist involved has also
sustained significant life-changing injuries.

“Our investigation was able to prove that the defendant clearly turned in
front of the motorcycle, which had right of way, and this resulted in the
collision.

“This is a demonstration of the truly awful consequences that can be caused
by any road user failing to pay sufficient care and attention.”

Typical Chav Behaviour.

We see it far too often when chavs are riding their chav-bikes.
