Man jailed for killing a cyclist in Horsham

A man has been jailed after knocking down and killing a cyclist in Horsham.

27 year-old Zisi Lushi was in collision with Michael Dixon in Kerves Lane back in December after losing control of the vehicle.  The 65 year-old victim was pronounced dead at the scene.

Lushi had borrowed his brother’s car and was carrying fake ID after entering the country illegally.

The 27 year-old was found not guilty of death by dangerous driving but was convicted of causing death by careless driving.  He also pleaded guilty to causing death while driving without a licence and without insurance.

Lushi has been jailed for 14 months and will be deported to his home country of Albania after he has served his sentence.
