A P-plate driver who killed two cyclists after falling asleep at
the wheel has been found not guilty of dangerous driving causing
death.
Nicholas Parker was driving in northwest Sydney when the
incident occurred.
He appeared at Parramatta District Court and faced a judge-alone
trial on those charges as well as charges of negligent driving
causing death.
Dangerous Driving Charges
19-year-old Nicholas Parker was driving for less than 10 minutes
in Richmond in 2019.
The court heard that he was travelling to his apprenticeship
when he fell asleep and swerved onto the wrong side of the
road.
This led to a head-on collision with cyclists Geoff Havill and
Chris Culver who were out for an early morning bike ride.
