A CHARD bus driver will lose his job after an accident in which a cyclist was killed.

Philip Robert Priestly, 30, of Henson Park, pleaded guilty to careless driving after an incident last April which led to the death of a Wells mother-of-three.

The family of cyclist Janine Lanario, 44, said they were satisfied with the court's decision to ban Priestly from driving for six months and fine him £200.

Family speaks of "emotional rollercoaster": see the News this week (January 14).
