Jason MacIntyre  Jason MacIntyre (20 September 1973 – 15 January 2008) was a Scottish racing cyclist. He was a triple British and Scottish champion time trial cyclist and broke Graeme Obree's time trial Scottish record in 2007. He was killed after a collision with a van on the A82 road. MacIntyre was born on 20 September 1973 in Lochgilphead, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. His family moved to Fort William when he was ten years old. He attended Lochaber High School, leaving in the sixth year and then he trained as a printer and lithographer. He started cycling at the relatively late age of 18. At the age of 22 he went to Lanzarote to train over the winter. The following year he won the 1997 Tour of the North in Northern Ireland at the age of 23. He then took a break from competitive cycling when he assumed the role of full-time carer for one of his twin daughters who was born with a kidney condition. He represented Scotland at the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester and competed in the final of the Men's Road Race although did not finish. He won the British National Time Trial Championships in 2006, the second Scot to achieve this. He won the British 25-mile time trial twice, in 2006 and 2007. Those years he also won the Scottish 25-mile time trial. He won thirteen Scottish titles. In January 2008 the Braveheart Cycling Fund confirmed they would award him £2,000 towards racing expenses. On 15 January 2008, MacIntyre was on a training ride when a van turned across his path and he collided with it at Carrs Corner on the A82 road in Fort William. He was airlifted to hospital, but died of his injuries on the way. His corneas were donated for transplantation. His funeral was held on 23 January in Duncansburgh Parish Church. MacIntyre was married and had twin daughters, who were eight years old at the time of his death. A memorial fund launched by the Braveheart Cycling Fund to provide assistance to MacIntyre's family raised £28,000 in less than a month. The fund aims to pay for a carer for one of his daughters, who has a serious kidney condition. In March 2008, Robert MacTaggart, the driver of the council van that killed MacIntyre appeared at Fort William Sherriff court and pled guilty to the charge of careless driving. MacTaggart was fined £500 and had his driving licence suspended for six months.
