Banned hit-and-run driver who killed cyclist then torched car jailed Lee Beevers was driving at nearly three times the speed limit before he crashed into Alan Tankard cycling
A banned driver who killed a cyclist in a hit-and-run crash then torched the car he had been driving has been jailed for four years and eight months.
Michael Smith, prosecuting, told the court that the four passengers in the car with Beevers, one of them in tears, had urged him to slow down before the fatal crash – after which, the driver told them to “shut the f*ck up” and drove away from the scene at speed. In mitigation, Alex Menary said that Beevers had been diagnosed with ADHD, had a troubled childhood, and in 2013 suffered a brain injury that made him act impulsively without considering the consequences of what he was doing.
“Despite your best efforts in destroying evidence [by setting fire to the vehicle], they were rational decisions to avoid being caught. It’s calculated behaviour, not impulsive.In a victim impact statement read out in court, Mr Tankard’s family said: “He left Alan in the road, dead or dying, whilst he covered his tracks in an attempt to destroy evidence of his crime.
“This tragic incident was completely avoidable and due to the dangerous and reckless actions of Beevers, Alan is sadly no longer here.“Nothing can ever bring him back to them, but I hope that the sentence passed today will help them as they continue to process their loss.”
