A motorist who killed a cyclist while driving dangerously when unfit through drugs was jailed for six years and nine months. Scott Mackinnon's vehicle swerved onto the opposing carriageway on a straight section of road before colliding with the bike of Colin McCourt who was cycling home from work.
Mr McCourt, 40, was thrown from the bike and landed on a pavement and died at the scene on the A814 road, at Cardross, in Argyll and Bute. Mackinnon, 47, was later found to have five different drugs in his system, including morphine and Etizolam, sometimes known as street valium.

Judge Alison Stirling said in jailing him: "The reasons for this sentence include punishment, protection of the public and rehabilitation in a custodial setting."
The judge pointed out that Mackinnon, formerly of East King Street, Helensburgh, had numerous previous convictions for road traffic offences and two linked to drugs. She said that Mr McCourt, who was returning to Dumbarton from his job as a mechanical engineer at the Clyde naval base at Faslane, was "highly visible" on his bike at the time of the collision on November 10 in 2020.
Mackinnon's VW Golf partially mounted a footpath before striking Mr McCourt's bike. His vehicle also struck another car before the Golf overturned and landed on its roof. He got out of his car claiming he was "fine" and told a police officer: "My glasses are too loose, so I had bobbles holding them on. They must have fell off my face."
He was described as having "slurred" speech and being incoherent and appeared to fall asleep on the way to a police station. He was found
