(35 minutes later) | |
A motorist has admitted causing the death of a cycling safety campaigner who was knocked off his bike in a road rage incident. | |
John Radford was left in a coma after the dispute in Huddersfield in 2013. He died 16 months later. | |
Michael Gledhill, who was found guilty of dangerous driving last October, was charged with causing death by dangerous driving after Mr Radford died. | |
Mr Radford was the chairman of Huddersfield and District Cyclists. | |
Gledhill, 24, of Bramble Bank, Holmfirth, appeared at Leeds Crown Court and was told he would be sentenced on 12 January. | |
Mr Radford had been involved in a campaign calling for better investigation of road accidents. | |
Speaking after Mr Radford was injured, his friend and fellow cyclist Martyn Bolt said: "There was nobody more experienced and knowledgeable about cycling. | |
"He was cycling in the right part of the road, just at the wrong time." |
