The English football professional Lucas Akins has to go to prison after a death trip.
The incident had occurred more than three years ago, but the judgment has only been made.
Because he had injured a cyclist so badly in March 2022 in an accident with his car that he died of the episodes, the player of the English third division club Mansfield Town was sentenced to a 14-month prison sentence, half of which was suspended. The Bild newspaper reports.
The victim’s helmet camera convicts Akins
The accident caused by Akins came when the cyclist Adrian Daniel drove over a cross in the town of Netherton near Birmingham and Akins took the right of way with his Mercedes when he turned right. Akins stated that he hadn’t seen the cyclist.
But he was wearing a helmet camera that recorded everything, which is why the accident of the accident could clearly be replaced, according to prosecutor Carmel Pearson.
“The accused on the film material attracted on the way and scored Daniel. It was too late for Daniel, to brake, and he suffered a serious head injury,” she said about the accident.
Daniel was admitted to a clinic, but could no longer be saved there. He succumbed to his serious injuries ten days later and left his wife and stepdaughter.
