THE widow of an ex-soldier killed by a truck while cycling home has told of her hell after the driver was spared jail.
Joe Clarke, 28, was hit by David Clarke’s truck as it pulled out of a side street.
The former corporal in the Royal Engineers died in hospital.
His wife of eight years, Cassie, said: “All it took was three seconds to take his life and mine.
"I should not be a widow at 30. We planned a family. That day he kissed me on the forehead and I said I loved him.
"He left for work but never came home. Living without him is like a living hell.”
Clarke, 57, of Warrington, admitted death by dangerous driving.
He got 24 weeks’ jail suspended, 200 hours’ unpaid work and a road ban at Manchester magistrates’ court.
