Ferguson, aged 65,  was traveling at triple the 20mph speed limit on Pershore Road when he knocked 27-year-old Sisey Bilay off his moped. Mr Bilay  sustained fatal injuries at 8.05pm on June 27 last year.

Ferguson admitted causing death by dangerous driving at Birmingham Crown Court and was sentenced to six years and nine months and banned from the road for nine years and six months.

Judge Kristina Montgomery KC said: “It was because you were travelling at such an excess speed you came to a point on the road where Mr Bilay crossed without having the chance to even appreciate your proximity and when you were able to appreciate this there was insufficient time for you to do anything other than brake heavily. That was too little too late to prevent the collision.”

There were audible sounds of shock from the public gallery as the footage of the collision was played to the court.

Prosecuting Dan White said: “He accepted he had been driving and described driving from his address, turning left and then said he saw two yellow lights coming towards him in ‘just a flash’, that was it. He later said there was a bang, he didn’t know where it came from and it was just a shock.

“He just sat in the bus stop afterwards. He didn’t see the moped at all.”
