Fort William man Graham Douglas jailed for dangerous driving
A motorist has been jailed for 10 months following a crash in which a cyclist lost his lower right leg and suffered a serious head injury.
Scaffolder Graham Douglas, 29, of Fort William, was driving at 67mph in a 30mph zone when he collided with Andy MacLeod, 20, in March 2011.
Lewis-born Mr MacLeod was thrown more than 60m (200ft) into the air in the night-time crash in Fort William.
A year later, Mr MacLeod climbed Ben Nevis and carried the Olympic torch.
At Fort William Sheriff Court, Douglas was jailed for 10 months for dangerous driving and a further month, to run consecutively, for a bail offence.
He was also banned from driving for three-and-a-half years.
Sheriff Noel McPartlin had earlier deferred sentence for a background report.
Mr MacLeod, who wears a prosthetic leg, carried the Olympic torch during a Scottish section of the UK torch relay last year.
He also walked to the summit of Ben Nevis, Britain's tallest mountain.
