Aaron Rogers, 23 and from Whitchurch, killed 56-year-old local garage
owner Ian Edwards when he ran over the stricken cyclist in the middle of
the B5476 road at Coton, late on the evening of July 31, 2020.

Addressing Rogers, Recorder Moran said: "For whatever reason Mr Edwards
*did not have lights on his bike*
*or reflective clothing* and when
*he left the pub at 11.30pm*
*he was travelling on a fairly poorly lit road*.

As he was cycling home a series of extremely unfortunate and tragic
events unfolded.

"He had a collision with another cyclist who had been in the Bull with
him. It caused him to fall off and he was lying prone in the road.

"In a terrible coincidence you were also on this road."
