An 81-year-old Oxfordshire driver has been sentenced for causing the death of a 75-year-old motorcyclist.

Brian Short, of Shotover Corner, Faringdon, was handed a nine-month suspended prison sentence and a 15-month driving ban at Oxford Crown Court.

Rodney Williams was on the A361 between Lechlade and Burford on 25 January when Short edged out of a country road in a "look but did not see" collision, despite the motorcyclist having his headlight on.

Mr Williams' wife Janet said his passing had "left a massive hole in my heart" and her life was now "really empty".

Mr Williams was an accomplished motorcyclist and had completed tours of the USA, and a 10,000-mile ride along the coast of Australia.
