A truck driver has been sentenced to two months in jail and pay a 1000 dollar fine for driving without due care and for spending more than 13 consecutive hours behind the wheel.
Last September, 29-year-old Jason Donald Dickison had just crested the Petersville Hill on Highway 7 when the fender of his tractor trailer bumped the back tire of a cyclist.
23-year-old Andrew Wolf of New York was propelled 62 meters forward as a result, and died at the scene of the crash.
The prosecution calling Dickison's momentary lapse of attention inexplicable because Wolf and his fellow cyclists were in plain view, it was a two lane highway,and a clear and sunny day.
Dickison is allowed to serve his sentence intermittently, over a period of weekends.
