A WOMAN nearly killed a cycling doctor after crashing into him at nearly
60mph before driving off and ‘leaving him for dead’.

The 36-year-old was also at least 75 per cent over the legal drink drive
limit during the crash – which doctors say would have killed the GP had he
not been wearing a helmet.

Bournemouth Crown Court heard how Dr Bickford was cycling on the A354 on
the bank holiday Monday of September 19 last year.

Judge Robert Pawson said the doctor’s helmet “shattered into pieces”
because of the crash, and that he likely would have died had he not been
wearing it.

Davies, of Milton Road in Milborne St Andrew, was jailed for 14 months and
disqualified from driving for 37 months.
