A drug dealer who ran over and killed a grandfather while pulling wheelies on an e-bike has been sentenced to eight years and three months in prison.

Dylan Green, 20, was filmed weaving across Accrington Road in Burnley, Lancashire, on March 22, with his girlfriend riding pillion, before doing a wheelie.

He then ploughed into pensioner Bart O’Hare, 86, who was trying to cross the road.

Mr O’Hare, who was on his way to buy fish and chips for his tea, was sent flying by the impact and sustained a fractured skull, a broken collarbone and several broken ribs as well as severe bruising and lacerations.

He survived eight days in hospital with his family praying by his bedside before succumbing to his injuries.

Green made no attempt to help his victim and instead ran off with the girl and got rid of the Surron e-bike. It has never been recovered.

The 86-year-old’s daughter Marika Mausolf in a victim impact statement described her father as ‘the glue which held the family together’.

Addressing Green directly, she said: ‘My dad never spent a night in hospital until that day when his granddaughter took the call.’

She continued: ‘We went to the hospital, and we have to live with our final memories remembering him by the injuries you caused.’
