Story summary
Uchenna Agunenye, 48, pleaded guilty to careless driving after crashing into a cyclist on Holderness Road in Hull. CCTV footage shows Agunenye's silver Citroën C4 hitting the woman who was riding in a cycle lane; she was thrown off her bike and hit a metal railing, breaking multiple bones including her leg, heel, several toes, elbow, and requiring surgery.
Agunenye claimed he "forgot" to wear his glasses that day. Police breathalyzed and tested him for drugs at the scene, both of which were negative. Despite the severity of the crash, Agunenye's car continued driving down the road after impact. The cyclist was hospitalized for her injuries.
A spokesperson from the Roads Policing Unit stated that Agunenye’s actions were “careless and reckless,” with lasting impacts on the victim’s life. He ultimately received a suspended prison sentence in Hull Crown Court.
