£1 million+ for cyclist paralysed in RTA

A female cyclist has received compensation in excess of £1 million after being involved in a road traffic accident. She will need round the clock care after she was left paralysed from a crash with an 89-year-old motorist. An out-of-court settlement was reached after the driver was found to have defective eyesight as she could only read her licence plate from 4.87 m away - the legal requirement is 20 m.
