A banned driver who was filmed inhaling laughing gas at the wheel when he killed an elderly cyclist before fleeing the scene has been jailed.
Cain Byrne, 20, ignored a red light and was well over the 50mph limit when he hit 81-year-old Graham Slinn on the A57 in Todwick near Rotherham on 4 April.
Mr Slinn, who had been pushing his bike across a pedestrian crossing, was pronounced dead at the scene after Byrne drove off in his VW Golf.
Sheffield Crown Court heard Byrne, who has never held a driving licence, made no attempt to stop at the crossing and could have been travelling at up to 80mph.
