British Cycling Champion Killed in Collision with Van

Aged 34, he had just been given funding to train for the Commonwealth Games in 2010. In 2007 he won the Scottish Hill Climb Championships and British 25-mile Time Trial Champs, and was runner-up in the British 10-mile Time Trial Champs.

Jason's website features lots of pictures of him in action. You can read a Cycling Weekly article of the Glenuig loop around MacIntyre's home town of Fort William.

A grass roots rider, he will be sadly missed thoughout the cycling world.

Update on August 07, 2008: the driver has been found guilty of careless driving. He was fined £500 and disqualified from driving for six months. In sentencing, the Sheriff could only consider the quality of driving and not the circumstances. From this we can conclude that a driver who manoeuvres in such a way that they could very easily wound or kill someone shall not be regarded as a dangerous driver.
