Addenbrooke's crash: Tanker driver charged over cyclist's death

Anna Garratt-Quinton was "the kindest soul", her family said

The driver of a petrol tanker has been charged after a cyclist died just outside the hospital where she worked.

Anna Garratt-Quinton, 22, whose family called her a "truly special individual", died near Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge on 7 October.

Richard Hardcastle, 28, of Westall Close, Hertford, has been charged with causing death by careless or inconsiderate driving.

He is due to appear at Peterborough Magistrates' Court next week.

Police sealed off the Hills Road roundabout outside the main entrance to Addenbrooke's Hospital after the collision

Ms Garratt-Quinton was from Great Denham, near Bedford.

In a statement released through Cambridgeshire Police following the collision, her family said: "Her giggles, smile and sarcastic wit would light up a room.

"She was dedicated and hardworking, would never take a day off, but if she did you could be sure to find her in her pink spotty dressing gown.

"Effortlessly bright, her patients were lucky to have her. She is and always will be the best daughter, partner, auntie, sister, granddaughter, niece and so much more.

"The list could go on because she was truly beloved by all. Anyone who got to meet our 'Anna Spanner' is truly blessed."
