Victim Scott Walker’s family say they were “let down” by justice system as Ian McFarlane handed community order
A driver who killed a cyclist spent a week trying to cover up the fatal crash – but has been spared jail by a judge.
Scott Walker, aged 43, died from “catastrophic” head injuries sustained when Ian McFarlane knocked him off his bike on the A917 Elie to St Monans Road in Fife on 8 July 2019, reports Courier.co.uk.
McFarlane, aged 76 and from Dundee, pleaded guilty last month at Dundee Sheriff Court to failure to stop and report the collision and to driving while uninsured, the only offences with which he was charged in connection with the fatal crash.
