It's not often that  a motorist who kills a cyclist gets long sentence like this:


A businessman who admitted driving into a cyclist and leaving him for dead has been jailed for seven and a half years.

Brian Williams, 35, of Chester Avenue, Urmston, knocked down 21-year-old Billy Harrison in Urmston and failed to stop, in the early hours of 3 May.

  • When he returned to the scene later a Greater Manchester Police officer spotted human tissue on his clothing.
