    The court previously heard, Louise Wright, 29, from Mapperley, had been stopped at the lights alongside Mr Haywood's vehicle and was heading straight when her bike was hit by the lorry.

    On the day of the crash in July 2014, he said he had a colleague in the lorry with him, they had the windows down as it was warm and they had been listening to Ed Sheeran.
