Two trials fail to reach a verdict in case of Peter Stubbs (4/5/2010)
Peter Stubbs, 58, was a CTC member and highly experienced cyclist. He was hit by Charlie Willbourne on the A20 in 2010, dying from his injuries in hospital shortly thereafter.
The driver claimed that she had been “blinded” by the sun but admitted later to prosecutors that she was still able to see the white lines on the road.
She was charged with ‘causing death by careless driving’ but two trials failed to reach a verdict.
