Former bank boss's wife, 90, hit cyclist
Edinburgh Sheriff Court heard that Lady Suzanne Risk, 90, who is married to Sir Thomas Risk, had waited until she thought it safe to pull out at a junction.
Ewan Easton, defending, said a number of cars had passed and it was possible cyclist Robert Benn was concealed behind them. As a result of the accident, he developed complications, including internal bleeding.
