E-bike safety warning after grandfather's death

The family of a man who was killed when he was hit by an e-bike are calling for better education about their dangers and warning parents to be careful of what they buy for their children.

Jim Blackwood, a 91-year-old army veteran, died of internal injuries after being hit while on a pavement outside his home in Rochester, Kent, in July 2023.

His daughter, Christine White, and granddaughter, Jenni Coleman, are urging parents to think about the consequences of what they buy and make sure e-bikes are safe before Christmas.

Clifford Cage admitted manslaughter over Mr Blackwood's death in October, changing his plea after initially pleading not guilty.
