DRUNK KILLER OF CHARITY CYCLIST JAILED

Bethany Mackie,18, was jailed for five years for her drink-driving causing the death of charity cyclist and father of three Christian Smith,38, last March as he neared the end of a 28-mile ride through Kent and Sussex for mental health charity Mind.

Mackie, who pleaded guilty, was driving her car at up to 76 mph on a 60mph road when she smashed into the back of Mr Smith’s bicycle, and only pulled over and stopped when she was 500 yards up the road.
