A Royal Mail postman whose careless driving killed an off-duty police officer has been jailed.
Graham Ellison's van was on the wrong side of the road when PC Oliver Evans' motorcycle turned a corner near Sedbergh, Cumbria, in September 2019.
The 27-year-old died when he came off his motorbike after braking hard.
Ellison, 59, who had previously admitted causing death by careless driving, was jailed for 32 weeks by the judge at Carlisle Crown Court.
The former postman, of Back Lane, Warton, near Carnforth, was also ordered to serve a two-year driving ban when released.

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

"The court heard Ellison had slowly overtaken a horse and cart travelling on the A683 at Middleton on the afternoon of 16 September, but remained in the opposite lane ahead of a blind bend as he intended to pull into a lay-by to collect mail from a post box."
