Emma Newman, 22, was killed after being knocked down by lorry driver Paul Mowat in Glasgow city centre on January 27 last year.
The grieving parents of a cyclist killed in a horror lorry crash fear they will never have 'closure' as the driver escaped a prison sentence. Emma Newman died after being knocked down by Paul Mowat in Glasgow city centre on January 27 last year.
But at his sentencing hearing this week, he was ordered to do 100 hours of unpaid work and put under supervision for 12 months. He was also disqualified from driving for 12 months, Glasgow Live reports. Rose told Glasgow Live: "I feel like we are at the end of the criminal process and the guilty verdict shortened that. We were relieved that he pleaded guilty as he should, given the evidence.
"At first, I would wake up every morning and would have to remind myself that my daughter has gone. It took some getting used to. It's been completely life changing." "She was also a leader involved in student government. She had the biggest hug and smile. She was fun to be around and kept us busy, we loved her so much."
