A man today admitted killing the mother of Olympic cyclist Chris Boardman.
Liam Rosney, 33, pleaded guilty to a charge of causing death by careless driving at Mold Crown Court over the death of Carol Boardman.
Rosney drove over Mrs Boardman, 75, whose son won gold at the 1992 Olympics, after she fell from her bicycle on a mini-roundabout in Connah’s Quay, North Wales, in July 2016.
Rosney denied a more serious charge of causing death by dangerous driving.
Matthew Curtis, prosecuting, said the Crown decided not to invite a trial in relation to the more serious charge.
