Driver admits he left cyclist to die
A man has admitted driving away from the scene of a crash which left a cyclist dead at the side of the road.
Grant Clayson, 36, of Church Way in Thorpe Malsor, appeared at Kettering Magistrates Court yesterday charged with causing the death of Christopher Ashman by driving without due care and attention, and failing to stop after the collision, on May 19 this year.
Mr Clayson pleaded not guilty to the first charge, saying his view was obscured by his windscreen washers and the low sun.
He will re-appear at the magistrates court in December before being tried at the Crown Court.
