The devastated father of a Scots nursery teacher who was killed by a lorry driver has slammed his 'slap on the wrist' sentence after he was spared jail.

John O’Donnell was found guilty of causing the death of 26-year-old Chloe Morrison when she was struck by a steel beam sticking out from his lorry in October 2019.

The 53-year-old was given 100 hours of unpaid work and banned from driving for 12 months at the High Court in Stirling. Judge Lord Stuart said the crime “did not warrant a custodial sentence”.Chloe's distraught father Robert, said he felt like he lost his daughter for a second time after O’Donnell walked free from court.

He said: "The sentencing caused a pain like losing our daughter for the second time.“How could O’Donnell kill someone else...and then just gets an effective slap on the wrist… it’s utterly insulting."As O’Donnell, of Inverurie, ­Aberdeenshire, was sentenced, Robert screamed “No, no, no” at the top of his voice, and “I’m so sorry, Chloe”.
