Following Mowat’s sentencing, Rose and John spoke out and highlighted that their daughter did not deserve to die.

The PARENTS of a cyclist killed by a lorry driver have said their daughter did not deserve to die in the manner that she did.

In a joint statement released after sentencing today, they said: “Every individual riding a bicycle is someone’s child. Drivers, please ‘get behind’ bike boxes, give cyclists space, and watch out at every junction, where most traffic fatalities occur. “We are very grateful for the support and sympathy we have received and hope the outpouring of love for our daughter will translate into greater care on the road for cyclists and other active travellers.”
