Lorry driver denies causing death of cyclist who was killed while riding in bus lane Appearing in court via video link from his truck cab, James Lindsay pleaded not guilty to causing death of university worker Ellen Moilanen by careless driving cycling
Judge Ian Pringle KC bailed Lindsay to attend court for the trial, which is expected to last four to five days and begin on 13 November.At the time of her death, 44-year-old Moilanen was the fourth woman killed while cycling in the area since 2017. A vigil in her memory of the cyclist was attended by over 100 people and organised by campaign group Cyclox, who also handed a petition to Oxfordshire County Council “calling for change to happen fast” to make the A4165 safe.
Less than a month after Ms Moilanen’s death, another female cyclist, Dr Ling Felce was killed after being struck by an unlicensed tipper truck driver, who was under the influence of cocaine at the time, on The Plain, a notoriously dangerous roundabout in Oxford. The HGV driver was jailed in September for eight years.
