As one of the commenters posted the cyclist must have gone through a red as well ?
Doesn t excuse the defendent but there plain to see is the risk of running a red light.
Jailing Creasey, Judge Knowles told him: “You took a risk as you knew the light was changing to red, as it did one-and-a-half seconds before you crossed the line
It was established that the driver, Brian Creasey had jumped the light:
Please don't spread misinformation about the incident on the basis of some pissy speculation in the comments section.

No one should run reds full stop. However,had the collision been between 2 cars, I suspect it would have just been an insurance claim.

That was never in question.

I guess the speculation is because there is normally a delay of much more than a second and a half between the lights going red for one traffic flow and changing to green for another.
Not being close to such incidents I'm not sure I want to see someone dumped in prison for a large amount of time for making a terrible mistake. :shrug:
Difficult one, and all we have to go off is a short newspaper story, in particular the character of the individual.
