A man has recently been sentenced to 175 hours of community work after driving so rashly that he collided into a cyclist and catapulted her right into the air, causing her death.
Christopher David McClelland, a 45 year old man from Marton, pleaded guilty for diving carelessly and causing the death of the woman in February. The incident took place on State Highway 1, next to Mt, Stewart in November last year. The victim, Patricia Fraser, was a mother of four and was riding single file with a friend in the cycle lane on that fateful day.

The man had allowed his vehicle to drift on to the cycle lane, wherein he drove the left corner of his car into the rear wheel of the woman’s cycle without breaking. She was then sent flying over the bonnet of the car and into the from wind screen of the vehicle and then catapulted into the air and landed on grass.
Ms Frasier was training for a cycle challenge when she was killed. She was wearing a high visibility jacket and riding her cycle safely.
