Police body-worn camera footage reported by multiple outlets shows officers telling a driver, Daniel Booth, that he has killed a cyclist following a road crash. The incident occurred on June 29 last year, when Booth, 31, is described as swerving across the road and colliding head-on with cyclist Neil Routley, 56. Coverage says Routley dies as a result of the collision.
One report states that Booth is told by police at the scene that he has killed Routley, and that his drug-driving level is far above the legal limit, described as 16 times over the limit. The accounts also link the driver’s actions to a cocaine binge, citing police findings.
The published material focuses on the bodycam sequence and the circumstances leading to the crash, including the alleged drug impairment and the collision details. The reports do not provide additional context on sentencing or courtroom findings beyond what is stated in the bodycam description.
