Ebbw Vale man awaits sentence after admitting death by careless driving

News | Richard Gurner | Published: 10:00, Monday January 27th, 2014.

A motorist is awaiting sentence after he admitted causing the death of a Markham man by careless driving.

Michael Bisi, 60, of Western Terrace, Ebbw Vale, was driving his Mercedes 240 when he collided with cyclist Paul Jones.

The incident happened on the A472 Hafodyrynys Road in Crumlin on August 12 last year.

On January 13 at Cardiff Crown Court, Bisi admitted a charge of causing Mr Jones’ death by driving without due care and attention.

Sixty-year-old grandfather Mr Jones died at the Royal Gwent Hospital in Newport on the same day as the collision.

A keen cyclist, Mr Jones was originally from Cwmbran and had moved to Markham 17 years ago.

The case was adjourned until February 5 for pre-sentence reports.
